Airdrie CultureFest

By popular demand, Airdrie CultureFest will be back for its third year! 

On July 1, 2025, almost 10,000 people immersed themselves in a multicultural delight. Arranged into continents, attendees travelled from country to country as they walked the Nose Creek Park pathways, tickling all of their senses. Through live cultural performances, international cuisine and games, attendees experienced the world — all without the airfare.

Airdrie's residents come from an array of diverse backgrounds but all share one thing: a desire to belong and build relationships in the city they have chosen to call their ‘home-away-from-home’. CultureFest is a chance for all Airdrie residents to experience and learn from each other, nurture new relationships, and walk away feeling more connected to their own roots, and each other.

Register now to be a part of a movement to celebrate all the amazing people and communities who call Airdrie home.

Warmly,

The Airdrie CultureFest Society Board + Planning Committee
