About

Celebrate the beauty of language, storytelling, and self-expression at Lingua: A Celebration of Language & Expression, a multilingual open mic afternoon featuring poetry, prose, spoken word, and personal writing shared in the languages closest to our hearts. Spoken word artists will share their original or meaningful works in their mother tongue or any language that reflects their identity and experiences.

Join us in celebrating creativity, connection, and celebration as we explore language as both an art form and a bridge across cultures.

Town of Oakville

The Town of Oakville is located on Treaty 14 and 22 lands, the territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat and the Haudenosaunee. Oakville is home to many different First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. A vibrant and impressive community within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), the Town of Oakville is a beautiful lakeside town with a strong heritage, preserved and celebrated by residents and visitors alike. Since the 1800s, it has become one of the most coveted areas to live and work in Ontario, with 225,000 residents calling Oakville home. The town offers all the advantages of a well-serviced urban centre with first-rate facilities and amenities while maintaining its small-town feel.
