4th Annual Multicultural Festival of Elmira

HOPE’s Multicultural Festival of Elmira (MFE) was created to broaden our knowledge and awareness of the diverse cultures around us, welcome newcomers to the Waterloo Region, celebrate various ethnic groups, raise awareness of diversity and inclusion through performances, workshops, services and vendors, and establish a safe and supportive environment where everyone feels a sense of belonging.

This year’s theme, “Rooted Here. Growing Together,” shows how shared presence and care create vibrant, connected communities. No matter where we come from, we all contribute to what’s growing here. We learn from each other, celebrate diverse cultures, and build a future based on respect, inclusion, and belonging on the land we share.

The Lineup is Set!

Get ready for an unforgettable journey of sound, movement, and tradition. We have travelled the globe to bring the absolute best world-class performers straight to our stage.
