This national celebration of arts and culture, took place on September 18 to October 4, 2026. This annual event seeks to eliminate barriers, while encouraging appreciation and participation in our communities. During this month long event, the City invites the community to participate in FREE activities to discover the world of artists, creators, historians, architects, curators, and designers at work.

Thank you to all of our partners and community members who participated in Culture Days 2026. From local events, to community programs, we saw an outpouring of appreciation for our community.

The 2027 Culture Days schedule will be announced next year, stay tuned for updates in the new year.
