The Town of Aurora is actively collaborating with local cultural organizations to highlight Aurora’s arts, culture and heritage scene.
What is Culture Days?
Culture Days is a national celebration of culture that invites the public to participate in hands on and behind the scenes activities that highlight the importance of culture in our communities. Initiated by the Canadian Arts Summit, Culture Days began in 2010 and five years later, it became an independent non-profit.
How do I participate as a Culture Days activity organizer?
