The National Celebration of the Culture Days Festival being held in North Bay, September 27 to 29, 2019 is around the corner. The Nipissing region Culture Days organizing Committee announce our dynamic roster of events and invite community Sponsorship and Volunteer opportunities to ensure the success of our spectacular celebration of multiculturalism as Unity in Diversity. 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 an annual three-­day national celebration 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.
