It’s time to celebrate Culture across Canada as the 8th annual Culture Days arrives in Huntsville and Lake of Bays this September 28 to 30!
Every year, millions of Canadians take part in Culture Days as they engage in thousands of free activities and performances hosted by artists, cultural organizations and municipalities in communities across Canada. From Nunavut to New Brunswick, and from British Columbia to Baffin Island – and all points in between – Culture Days shares all the inspiration, artistry, creativity and expression that reflects the mosaic of Canadian culture.
When it comes to Huntsville and Lake of Bays, the event will feature free, hands-on, interactive activities that invite the public to participate “behind the scenes”—and to discover the world of artists, creators, historians, architects, curators, and designers at work in their community.
With 107 Culture Days events scheduled across Huntsville in 2018, you may not have time for them all, but if you just want to get a taste of what Culture Days is all about join us in Downtown Huntsville for the Culture Days Main Street Festival on Saturday September 29 from 10am-4pm!
