Following the resounding success of last year’s event, which attracted between 3,000 and 4,000 attendees from across the region and beyond, we are thrilled to announce the highly anticipated launch of the 2024 Cornwall Culture Fest!
Join us on Saturday, September 14th, from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm at Lamoureux Park in Cornwall for a vibrant celebration of cultural diversity. This year’s Cornwall Culture Fest promises to be an enriching experience, bringing together performers, exhibitors, workshops, and food vendors from various cultural backgrounds. The event is a showcase of the rich cultural tapestry that defines Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry, Cornwall, and Akwesasne.
“Last year’s turnout exceeded our expectations, and it was incredible to see so many people come together to celebrate our community’s diversity,” said Farhana Meghji, EDI Coordinator for the Cornwall Police Service and a lead member of the Cornwall Culture Fest Planning Committee. “This year, we’re building on that success with even more exciting performances, activities, and cultural experiences for everyone to enjoy.”
The success of the Cornwall Culture Fest would not be possible without the dedication and support of our partnering organizations. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Cornwall Police Services, Social Development Council of Cornwall and Area, Cornwall Public Library, St. Lawrence College, Rotary Club of Cornwall, TR Leger Immigrant Services, ACFO-SDG, Beyond 21, Native North American Travelling College, and Diversity Cornwall.
