Huron Multicultural Festival returns to Lions Harbour Park

Kazdoura is one of the headliners at the 2025 Huron Multicultural Festival.

Huron Multicultural Festival returns to Goderich on Saturday, June 28 at its new location in Lions Harbour Park.

This vibrant, family-friendly event celebrates the rich cultural diversity of the region through music, food, art, and interactive experiences.

“The Huron Multicultural Festival is a great way to celebrate the many cultures that make our community special,” said Allie Brenner, Cultural Development Officer with the County of Huron Cultural Office.

“It’s a chance for everyone to come together through music, dance, art and food, and to experience the unique creativity and energy each culture has to share.”

Enjoy a dynamic line-up of music and dance from around the world.

Headlining this year’s festival are Kazdoura, known for their electrifying fusion of Arabic maqams, Middle Eastern rhythms, psychedelia and soulful jazz saxophone.

Founded by Syrian singer Leen Hamo and Lebanese jazz musician John Abou Chacra, Kazdoura is rooted in Levantine Arabic music and fueled by genre-bending experimentation.

Kazdoura creates a fresh and electrifying take on Arabic classics and original compositions.

Another headliner is JUNO award-winning performer Quique Escamilla, a Mayan-Zapotex singer-songwriter who blends Pan-American rhythms with high-energy Latin music, Indonesian dance, Indigenous poetry and more.

Escamilla is a singer-songwriter from Chiapas, Mexico and based in Toronto who blends rhythms with stories to elevate Indigenous Peoples’ voices across the Americas and decimate the effects of colonization, racism and xenophobia.

Attend the Multicultural Festival on June 28 to savour international cuisines and explore artisan crafts that showcase the talents and traditions of diverse cultures.

The festival also offers children’s activities including interactive games and cultural activities designed to educate and entertain.

While taking in the festival atmosphere by enjoying the food, music, traditions and activities of other cultures, relax and enjoy a selection of local beverages at the licensed beer garden.

Other performers on the main stage include Conexion Latina, Shantell Powell, Arcapada Art Dance, Culture Philippines of Ontario, Nachde Rangeelay, and The Afro-Brazilian Stilt Drumming Trio.

Admission to the Huron Multicultural Festival is free.

Location is at Lions Harbour Park in Goderich from 12 p.m. until 7 p.m.
