About

Welcome to the **Multicultural Drum Festival**, an unparalleled celebration of diversity and unity through the universal language of music.

Set amidst the vibrant backdrop of Burnaby, this unique one-day festival brings together 20 performance groups from 10 distinct ethnic backgrounds, including a special appearance by an international team.

Through the rhythms of the drums, we invite you to experience a multicultural dialogue, exchanging and understanding the nuances of our diverse cultures.

But the festival is more than just performances. It’s a platform for local talent, offering them an opportunity to showcase their art and connect with a broader audience.

Our planning committee made up of influential community leaders from diverse cultural heritage, has curated an experience that resonates with the vibrancy and diversity of Burnaby.

We’re excited to kick off the summer’s cultural festival season with our event, heralding the spirit of multiculturalism in advance of Canada’s Multicultural Day and Canada Day.

Gather your families and friends, and come join us in sharing the same heartbeat that unites us all as Canadians.

At the Multicultural Drum Festival, we believe in the power of music to bring people together, transcending boundaries and fostering a sense of community.

Join us as we drum up a beat for unity, diversity, and the celebration of our multicultural heritage.

Let the drums beat, let the music flow, and let’s come together as one. Welcome to the Multicultural Drum Festival!
