Burlington Culture Days - Join the RE:emergence Sept. 23 to Oct. 16
The City of Burlington is inviting residents to join local artists, cultural professionals and creative organizations to attend free, interactive in-person or online events and activities during the 13th annual Culture Days from Sept. 23 to Oct. 16, 2022. Culture Days has become the largest cultural event in Canada, attracting an estimated 2.5 million annual attendees to thousands of free activities and performances hosted by artists, cultural organizations and municipalities in hundreds of communities across Canada.
This year’s theme Re:emergence, explores new ideas and innovation in arts and culture while committing to building tangible change in the sector and society. As we learn to live with COVID-19, the Ontario Culture Days Festival will offer a hybrid of in-person events as well as digital and self-guided programming.

This project will provide trail users with a safe and accessible way to enjoy art and to learn more about the amazing creators in our community.
