Toronto International Festival of Authors

The Toronto International Festival of Authors (TIFA) is Canada's longest-running literary festival, a charitable, non-for-profit cultural organization. Since 1974, TIFA has presented over 9,500 of the finest Canadian and international writers, artists and thinkers, offering audiences access and empowerment to meet, hear and learn from the best storytellers of our time. Alongside the flagship 11-day Festival, TIFA delivers literary activities and mini-festivals throughout the year, and partners with others including Toronto Lit Up, Book Summit, Forest of Reading Festival and The Word OnThe Street. Our creative programmes continue to adapt to changing times, capturing innovative and enlightening conversations on stage and online. Located at Harbourfront Centre.
