Ontario Culture Days

The Ontario Culture Days Festival is an annual celebration of arts, culture and heritage taking place each fall across the province. Each year, we work with organizers of all disciplines to produce this province-wide festival. Organizers host programs throughout Ontario and invite the public to participate for free.

This year’s Festival will take place from September 18 to October 4, 2026.

Throughout the year, we share Ontario stories and travel guides at onculturedays.ca.
