Culture Days Etobicoke

There was a time when “the Arts” were strictly aimed at specific groups. Those that could stare for hours on end at a single brush stroke on a piece of canvas. Luckily we are now embracing the arts like never before with various events throughout the year attended by both young and old alike. Culture Days is one such event and Etobicoke is an active participant.

Culture Days is a Canada-wide initiative that “invites everyone to explore, discover and participate in arts and culture in every community across the country”. Over a million and a half people participated last year and the number is expected to grow in 2020. The ninth annual event features numerous hands-on interactive activities that encourages the public to “discover the world of artists, creators, historians, architects, curators, and designers at work in their community”. Culture Days will take place September 27th to September 29th.

What is happening on these days in Etobicoke specifically? “Everything” is one word that would describe it. Lakeshore Arts will be creating a cardboard town out of recycled materials in Mimico Square. Sirius Theatrical Company will be hosting Family Improv Games. Taste Portuguese Cuisine will be teaching wine making. There is so much more that we couldn’t possibly list it all out.
