Culture Days in the Town of Caledon is officially underway, and the celebration was marked by a flag raising and a performance by violinist Burcin Yilmaz.

Culture Days is a celebration of arts, culture and heritage running from September 19 to October 12 across Caledon.

The event will feature more than 50 free activities for the community to enjoy, offering the opportunity to discover Caledon’s artists, creators, performers, and more.

“Culture Days is more [than] about entertainment. It’s about celebrating the people, traditions and creativity that make Caledon such a place to live,” shared Regional Councillor Early at the event.

Given the number of events, she shared that there is truly something for everyone.

She shared that by offering numerous free cultural experiences, they’re encouraging community spirit and showcasing some of the many reasons Caledon is such a great place to live and visit, in addition to providing the community with meaningful ways to connect with the arts and celebrate Caledon’s talented artistic community.

“Culture Day exists as a catalyst that connects individuals and creators, eliminates barriers, and stimulates understanding, appreciation, and exploration of arts, culture, and heritage so that every individual in the country has a deeper connection with themselves, their community, and Canada,” Councillor Early said.

The flag was then raised, signifying the beginning of weeks of fun, passion, and creativity here in Caledon.
