KINCARDINE, ON – This year marks an incredible milestone as the Kincardine Multicultural Celebration proudly celebrates 20 years of embracing diversity and facilitating community connection. The event will take place on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, at the Davidson Centre from 5:30 until 8 p.m. There is free admission, and all are welcome!

Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with each other’s cultures by sampling ethnic delicacies and discovering new traditions. This event offers a unique forum to dialogue and promote understanding within the community. It encourages us to remember the importance of diversity and inclusivity. Developing an understanding of different cultures and religions in our community helps us become aware, rethink any assumptions we may have, and better understand the similarities in traditions. 

Dr. Chandra Tripathi founded this event with a vision to foster acceptance of all cultures. In 2005, the first celebration was at Huron Heights Public school in Kincardine giving approximately 200 attendees the opportunity to experience a variety of cultures. Kincardine Multicultural Celebration Committee (KMCC) organizes the annual Kincardine Multicultural Celebration with support from Bruce Power, Swajan Samanvay Santan Centre, the Municipality of Kincardine, and the Kincardine District Senior School.

Dr. Chandra Tripathi, reflects: “For 20 years, this celebration has been a beacon of unity — bringing people together through the richness of their cultures. It’s more than an event; it’s a living example of how respect, understanding, and shared joy can strengthen our community. I warmly invite all cultural groups to join us by setting up a display at the event  — whether through food, music, art, or storytelling — to help spread the message of inclusivity and togetherness far and wide.”
