Come celebrate 10 years of Culture Days in Halton Hills! This award-winning national celebration of arts and culture returns to Halton Hills from September 19 to October 12, 2025.
In 2024, Halton Hills hosted a record-breaking 134 free and by-donation events for the public, earning us national recognition and placing first in the “Small Municipalities” category. This year, we aim to make our celebration bigger and better, offering over 200 free arts and culture events for the public to enjoy.
