About

The Multicultural Festival of Hawkesbury

The multicultural festival was born from a desire to discover and immerse oneself in the values of several cultures, thus creating a new synergy by using culture as a common point. In partnership with the “Communauté francophone accueillante” initiative, the first edition took place in 2022. Since then, the event has been growing.

Now in its third edition, the success of this initiative has been felt, as in 2023, more than 20,000 participants attended the three days of celebrations. With over 20 shows, games, family activities, and numerous cultural discoveries, the Town of Hawkesbury has achieved several objectives: promoting our region, encouraging culture, boosting the local economy, revitalizing our downtown area, establishing a discovery niche, and enhancing rural vitality.

The year 2024 marks a period of change, reflecting an evolving community. It is in this light that a new logo has been created, highlighting the diversity and homogeneity of cultures through a blend and gradient of colors. This logo reflects a Town like Hawkesbury, composed of multiple cultures that transcend their differences to develop pride and belonging to their region. The festival, which will take place this year from June 28th to June 30th, will once again provide an opportunity to discover and appreciate everyone’s differences around the theme of culture. We wish everyone an excellent festival full of discovery.
