You will be able to taste a variety of cultures this weekend.
The Timmins Multicultural Society is hosting its annual Multicultural Festival at the McIntyre Arena this weekend. Organizer Helen Yaschyshyn says the festival started in the early 1970’s and aims to bring the different cultures in Timmins together for all to see.
Yaschyshyn says the festival is free to get into, but donations are collected at the door to go towards next year’s event. She says this is an important event for the community because it promotes and preserves the different groups in the community, as well as hopefully helps grow the organizations.
Yaschyshyn says the event kicks off on Sunday with the Parade of Nations at 12:30pm. Below is a picture of the full event schedule.Â
