Join us for a two-day party celebrating Canada’s contemporary fabric — a dynamic mix of cultures, stories, and rhythms! Rain or shine, we’ll have entertainment for you outside in our Park, and inside in our galleries.

You won’t want to miss your chance to flex your artistic muscles with art-making activities, and dance workshops for kids and adults alike. Break out your new moves during an exciting lineup of performances from some of Toronto’s best established and emerging artists, who will have you grooving under the sun and into the night.

Festival visitors also get special $10 admission to our popular exhibition, The Moon: A Voyage Through Time.

A shuttle bus will loop from downtown to the Museum with stops at:

Panel on diversity with Ashkenaz in the Bellerive Room

Join us as we explore the relationship between Canadian musicians of Jewish and Iranian background who have built bridges between their respective communities through intercultural artistic collaboration. The Israeli-Iranian Musical Initiative is a unique collaboration aiming to transcend the diplomatic hostility that currently exists between the nations of Israel and Iran. This lively discussion between two members of the project, Parisa Sabet, and Noam Lemish,
and the Artistic Directors of both Ashkenaz, and the Aga Khan Museum, will spotlight how our Canadian context engenders paths to peace and understanding through creative musical collaboration, dialogue and celebration of shared values and traditions.
