Where Worlds Get Together

 Marion Dewar Plaza (Ottawa City Hall)
 (corner of Elgin and Laurier)

Carnival of Cultures is Ottawa’s unique international folkloric festival that brings to life music, song and dance of countries around the world.   

This festival not only celebrates cultures from around the world.  «Carnival of Cultures exists for the purpose of promoting the creativity and artistic expression of artists whose works give new meaning to the folk arts. Through the preservation and transformation of traditional creations, these artists contribute to the longevity of the folk arts, making them accessible to the general public”, says festival organizer Tony Yazbek.

 At Carnival of Cultures, you’ll enjoy an unforgettable experience of live and colourful performances presented by hundreds of local and out-of-town artists.  In three days, more than 300 performers will come together on an outdoor stage to offer audiences  exciting non-stop entertainment.  What better way to kick-start Ottawa’s local festival season and to highlight the diversity of Canada’s cultural and folkloric heritage!
