Culture Days

Each year, Richmond Hill welcomes back Culture Days during the final weekend in September. During this weekend, some of Richmond Hill's most exciting artists and organizations organize free,  hands-on activities for residents and visitors. Activity locations vary from year-to-year but typically take place at the Richmond Hill Central Library, the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts, the Mill Pond Gallery and more.  

A full list of activities is available at culturedays.ca.

What is Culture Days?

Culture Days is celebrated in hundreds of cities and towns across Canada. During this three-day event, participants explore and discover cultural awareness in their local communities through visual arts, music, dance, theatre, architecture, heritage, film and video, literature, culinary arts and new media.

Why should we celebrate culture?

Culture is everywhere and is a part of every moment of our lives. We celebrate Culture Days to recognize the special place that arts and culture occupies in our lives, much like you would celebrate a birthday or an anniversary.
