DiverseCity Festival

DiverseCity Festival celebrations continue across communities throughout PEI this summer.

Founded in 2007, the festival showcases the Island’s rich cultural diversity through music, food, art, and community engagement. It was created to celebrate Canadian multiculturalism, foster connections between newcomers and long-time Islanders, and support settlement, inclusion, anti-racism, and retention. Since expanding in 2014, DiverseCity has continued to grow, becoming one of the most anticipated cultural events on PEI each summer. 

This month, celebrations will be held in Alberton on July 6 from 12–3 pm on Main Street, in West Point on July 20 from 12–2 pm at the West Point Lighthouse (365 Cedar Dunes Park Road), and in Summerside on July 27 from 1 am–3 pm at the Lefurgey Cultural Centre. 

Next month, events continue in the Town of Three Rivers (Montague) on August 3 from 12–4 pm at Waterfront Park, in Kensington on August 17 from 11am–3 pm at the Railway Station & Confederation Trail, and in Souris on August 24 from 1–4 pm at Centennial Park on Pond Street.

Each event features multicultural food vendors, artisan and craft booths, live performances, and fun activities for children—promising an experience that’s enjoyable for all ages.
