Chandra Tripathi, the founding member of Kincardine Multicultural Celebrations, and the lead organizer for this event, envisions this open house as a platform to foster understanding, promote cultural exchange, and build bridges of friendship among our diverse community members. Reflecting on the success of previous years, where hundreds of people attended and enjoyed, Chandra hopes this year’s event will continue to cultivate pride and appreciation for Indo-Canadian residents in Huron, Grey, and Bruce counties.

We invite everyone to come together for an afternoon filled with cultural richness, engaging activities, and the spirit of community. As Chandra beautifully puts it, “What better way to meet your neighbours than to share in an exciting afternoon of great music and delicious food?”

This event is hosted by the Swajan Samanvay Sanatan Centre (SSSC), Municipality of Kincardine, Bruce County, Bruce Power, and the Grey Bruce Local Immigration Partnership (GBLIP).
