Are you organizing a free or pay-what-you-can community event/activity/exhibition taking place between September 18 – October 4, 2026?

Then submit your event to the Ontario Culture Days 2026 event portal!

Culture Days is a national celebration of arts and culture. At the end of each September, millions of people attend thousands of free participatory arts and culture events across the country both in-person and online. Culture Days programs invite the public to get hands-on and behind-the-scenes to highlight the importance of arts and culture in our communities.

The Culture Days national organization works with provincial partners and a wide network of event organizers, from grassroots community volunteers to major institutions. This collaborative model allows a unique Canada-wide scope while simultaneously supporting individual communities and on-the-ground organizers. We provide marketing and industry development resources and manage an annual multi-tiered advertising and promotion campaign that connects thousands of Culture Days events by a common thread.

Anyone can organize an event and participate in Culture Days! From grassroots community volunteers, public libraries, and independent artists and collectives to major arts, culture, heritage institutions, specialty festivals, and municipalities—everyone is invited to join the celebration!
