City of Brampton celebrates Pride 2024 - BAO

BRAMPTON, ON (September 5, 2024) – The City of Brampton is thrilled to welcome back Culture Days for another exciting year.

Taking place from September 20 until October 13 in Brampton and communities across Canada, Culture Days is an annual celebration of arts and culture, attracting millions of attendees from hundreds of municipalities to explore, engage and participate in more than 3,000 creative events while celebrating the talent and creativity that defines local communities. Last year, Brampton welcomed attendees at 16 Culture Days events and activities. 

This year, Culture Days in Brampton is co-presented with community organizers and partners, including Brampton Arts Organization (BAO), Brampton Public Library, Bovaird House, Downtown Brampton BIA and Peel Art Gallery Museum and Archives (PAMA). Residents are invited to immerse themselves in the world of local performing and visual artists, writers, creators, historians, architects, filmmakers, curators and designers through workshops, special events, performances and demonstrations. There are activities and events for everyone of all ages during Culture Days. 

Festivals like Culture Days are vital for supporting local talent and connecting the community with arts and culture. By offering free, accessible events, these festivals give local creatives a platform to showcase their work and reach new audiences. They help strengthen the community’s cultural identity and make art more inclusive by welcoming people from all backgrounds to participate.
