 Canton_MulticulturalFest_LockUp_RGB_LARGE

DATE: Sept. 7, 2024

TIME: 11 AM- 3 PM

NEW LOCATION: Harmon Park | 226 Harmon Circle, Canton, GA 30114

The Canton Multicultural Festival is a free event created to celebrate and strengthen community relationships among the different cultures that co-exist in our wonderful City. The festival is not only a community outreach event, but it is also a way to reach the community through partnerships.

The vision is to provide citizens within our community a glimpse of the many different cultures and their heritages. Countries from all over the world will be preparing tastings of specific foods native to their culture. We will also have traditional live performances, music, and interactive demonstrations to provide an authentic cultural celebration and learning experience for all of those who attend.

Soccer Tournament (TEAMS FILLED)

The Mayor's Cup soccer tournament will take place during the Multicultural Festival on the newly-built Harmon Park soccer pitch. It is free for teams to enter and take part in the tournament, but spaces are limited, so sign up here before it's too late!

Participants must be at least 16 years old. Check-in will begin at 10:30 A.M., with the tournament beginning at 11:00 A.M. If you have any questions about the soccer tournament, please reach out to Jacky Cheng at jacky.cheng@cantonga.gov.

Vendor Registration (CLOSED)

We are seeking vendors to showcase their businesses and services to attendees, especially to our underserved populations. No sales are allowed during the event. If you are interested in participating, please reach out to Lauren Johnson at lauren.johnson@cantonga.gov to get started.
