Founded in 2009, Culture Days is a non-profit organization dedicated to building a national network of cultural connections devoted to providing Canadians with opportunities to participate in, and appreciate, all forms of arts and culture.

Through the three-day national celebration at the end of each September, hundreds of thousands of artists and cultural organizations in hundreds of cities and towns come together and invite Canadians to participate in free interactive and behind-the-scenes activities to discover their cultural spirit and passion.

The 7th Annual Culture Days weekend takes place September 30, October 1 and 2, 2016. Learn more about Culture Days at http://culturedays.ca/
