The festival will also feature cultural and business booths, providing local organizations, community groups, entrepreneurs, and businesses with an opportunity to showcase their products, services, and cultural heritage. A shopping bazaar will offer visitors the chance to browse unique items from different communities while supporting local vendors.

Food will play an important role in the celebration, with attendees invited to sample a variety of Canadian cuisine and multicultural dishes prepared by participating vendors. Organizers hope the culinary experience will reflect Canada’s multicultural identity and provide visitors with an opportunity to enjoy flavours from around the world.

Entertainment will continue throughout the day with a magician show and Disney cartoon-themed attractions, ensuring younger audiences remain entertained.
