Holiday food styling by Adele Weber. You can present your guests with a bundle of colourful julienned vegetables - green beans, red pepper and carrot - tied with a ribbon of green onion, leek or chives. Soften the vegetable "ribbons" by dousing them briefly in hot water. Pop the vegetable bundles into your soup for a festive garnish.J.P. Moczulski
Veggie tales
Whether you're vegetarian, vegan, raw-foodist or just trying to be a kinder carnivore, plenty of tempeh-tations await you at the Harbourfront Centre's annual Vegetarian Food Fair. (Saturday, 12 p.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday, 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. Free. www.veg.ca)
Function in the Junction
High art meets street party at the Junction Arts Festival, where musicians, comedians and dancers share the spotlight with "yarnstormers" knitting a car cozy and dub poets composing "live literature." (Saturday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.; Sunday, 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Free. www.junctionartsfest.com)
Dø-Wop
The Franco-Finnish pop duo of Dan Levy and Olivia Merilahti call themselves The Dø (pronounced "the dough"), a name that conjures the jaunty tune from The Sound of Music, but also means "The Death" in Danish. They're performing their appropriately eclectic musical blend at Wrongbar. (Saturday, doors open at 6 p.m. 1279 Queen St. W. $14.)
Jesus of Toronto
Costumed Biblical characters and marchers singing hosannas are taking over Bloor Street from Avenue to Yonge for the Jesus in the City parade today - and whether you're one of the flock or just there to shop, you'd best not take your car downtown (as if you needed another reason). (Saturday, 12 p.m. Starts at Queen's Park Circle. www.jesusinthecity.com)
Box office
The TIFF Bell Lightbox isn't just the new full-time headquarters for the film festival.
