๐๐ Culturefest is back, and we want your community to be part of it! ๐๐
The Saint John Newcomers Centre is excited to invite ethnocultural groups and community organizations to join the Cultural Village at the 8th International Culturefest on August 1โ2, 2026 in Uptown Saint John!
For seven years, Culturefest has welcomed tens of thousands of visitors and grown into one of New Brunswickโs biggest multicultural celebrations. The Cultural Village is a special space where communities can proudly share their culture, traditions, heritage, and stories through displays, activities, clothing, arts, crafts, and more. โจ๐จ๐

This year, we are reaching out across New Brunswick and hoping to welcome even more communities from different parts of the province. Space is limited, and selection will focus on cultural diversity and festival balance. Communities that have not joined before, or have joined less often, may receive priority. Groups that already shared their interest earlier this month may also receive priority during review.
We are also making updates to the site plan and security planning to help create a safer, smoother, and more welcoming experience for everyone. ๐
