Today is the start of ItalFest !
For its 31st edition, this annual rendez-vous of Italian excellence promises even more shows and more fun than ever before! Running from today until August 11th, this festival is more than just a tradition; it is a symbol of unity, culture, and the vibrant spirit that defines our city and the impact that Italians have made on Montreal.
This festival is a precious opportunity to celebrate our shared Italian heritage, but it also showcases the rich diversity of our community. It unites people from all walks of life who come together to enjoy Italian art, music, food, fashion, and traditions. This year we expect as many as 500,000 visitors to the festival, a testament to how well-known and well-liked this annual tradition is!
As part of our commitment to embracing cultural diversity and promoting inclusivity, our government is committed to supporting this wonderful event through Heritage Canada’s local festival program as well as Canada Summer Jobs to ensure that this amazing tradition can continue.
