Here's how you can make an impact during Culture Days this year.
Host an Activity:
Culture Days events are planned and hosted by both Town staff and community activity organizers. Connect with new members of the community by planning an arts or cultural experience for the public. The deadline to be included in the 2025 Festival Guide is August 22, 2025. The Town supports community activity organizers with venues, volunteers, registration and marketing.
To confirm your event details with staff, please contact Assistant Cultural Coordinator Jacob Zanth at jzanth@haltonhills.ca with information about your event.
Event registration is now live! To register your Halton Hills event online or to find out more about the national festival, please visit: culturedays.ca.
Join the Youth Committee:
Back again this year, students in grades 9 to 11 can join the Culture Days Youth Committee. Members of the Youth Committee will earn 8-14 volunteer hours while planning and delivering ‘By Youth for Youth’ Culture Days events, supported by Town staff.
Sponsor an Event:
Culture Days events would not be possible without our community! Join in on the celebration by sponsoring our local arts and culture events, including: the Helson Gallery Plein Air Painting Challenge, OnStage at the John Elliott Theatre, Public Art talks, workshops and more.
Be an Event Volunteer:
Support the delivery of festival events by volunteering your time in the community. Volunteers will be matched with activities that match their availability and interest.
