There is an ancient Icelandic custom that ensures abundance in all things and that is ritual sharing of great food and friendship during Thorri. For over thirty years in Toronto the gathering has grown and continues to expand in greater and greater appreciation and enthusiasm for Icelandicness and the power of community.
Thank you to the more than 45 team members and 1500 hours dedicated to our Thorrablot! Our goal is to sponsor Academic Scholarships for Youth, Snorri Grant and Icelandic Camp Award Winners!
AND… to fill our guests with memoried Icelandic, Icelandic Canadian and traditional Thorrablot Food and Fun Experiences!
We can’t wait for you to join us! The Thorrablot Team welcomes Vikings from Vinland, Musical Performances with Lindy Vopnfjord, Live Auctioneer Linda Lundström.

Vikings from Vinland
Our treasured friends from L’Anse aux Meadows will return, all dressed, gnarly, and hungry for burnt heads and mead, and abundantly adorned with swords, spindle whorls and yarn telling rich with history.

Musical Performances Featuring Lindy Vopnfjörð
A tall man who tells tall tales of lost lands swirled by stormy seas and salty lands. Lindy grew up on the icy shores of Lake Winnipeg. By the age of four he was singing at Íslendingadagurinn with his family. He toured twice to Iceland last year and performed at Iceland Airwaves music festival. Recently his sagas and songs focus on the bright side of ‘elfin life’.
