Thornbury has a big community celebration coming soon.
The YMCA of Owen Sound Grey Bruce, in partnership with the Town of The Blue Mountains, will host the fifth annual Multicultural Celebration in Thornbury on June 27.
The day will include live music and cultural performances throughout the day, including a drumming circle, traditional Scottish Gaelic music and Caribbean steel drums.
“Each year, this celebration continues to grow and flourish. It’s a powerful reminder that when we come together to share our cultures, stories and traditions, we strengthen the fabric of our entire community,” says Suneet Kukreja, program manager of immigrant services at the YMCA of Owen Sound Grey Bruce.
Also during the celebration, there will be a variety of international food vendors, a bustling arts and crafts market featuring handmade cultural items, and children’s activities such as henna tattoos, face painting, crafts and games.
The celebration will run from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. at Moreau Park.
Attendees are encouraged to wear their traditional cultural attire and celebrate diversity
