What is Culture Days?
Culture Days is a free, interactive celebration of arts and culture from coast to coast to coast. This fall, Canadians everywhere will participate in thousands of free events that bring creators and the public together to celebrate the creative vitality of our communities.
In 2010, Culture days will take place September 24-26 in all provinces except in Alberta where the third edition of Alberta Arts Days will take place September 17-19. Dates for the three northern territories will be announced soon.
