CultureFest FAQ:
How did Airdrie CultureFest come to be?
Multiple cultural leaders, organizations and passionate Airdrie community residents approached the City of Airdrie for an event that celebrates and showcases Airdrie’s growing, diverse population. Out of grassroots came the Airdrie CultureFest Planning Committee, a group of individuals with a passion for inclusion, belonging and celebration. Airdrie CultureFest is community-led and community-funded and is the first of what hopes to become an annual event.
What are the guiding principles of CultureFest?
The committee is made up of a diverse group of people and organizations striving towards, and driven by, a passion for Airdrie to be a city where residents have a sense of:
- Belonging – where you truly feel you fit in and can build meaningful relationships with anyone.
- Unity – where you are connected and collaborate together towards a(n even) better Airdrie.
- Interactivity – where we meaningfully engage with one another.
- Inclusivity – where your differences and similarities are both equally valued and celebrated.
- Acceptance/Welcoming – where open communication is the norm, and you are embraced as part of the community.
- Celebration – where everything you are and represent is recognized, and we, as a city, have fun sharing in it with you.
