Celebrate Culture Days in Barrie
Welcome to Culture Days, a nation-wide collaborative movement designed to encourage awareness, participation and engagement of all Canadians in the arts and cultural life of their communities. This Canadian celebration represents the largest-ever collective public participation campaign undertaken in this country. Cutlure Days features free, hands-on, interactive activities that invite the public to participate in the "behind the scenes" world of artists, creators, historians, curators and designers in their community.
The City of Barrie is very excited to be participating in this inaugural event and is hoping that members of our community will get out and enjoy the festivities. There are Culture Days events at 21 locations throughout the City, including the MacLaren, which is an enthusiastic and willing partner in Culture Days. Visit www.culturedays.ca for a complete list of activities going on across the country.
