We're excited to announce that the Markham Village Music Festival has been selected for the My Main Street Community Activator stream! With their generous support, we are activating two vibrant, accessible, and inclusive community initiatives: the Indigenous Cultural Gathering and the Indigenous Public Art Banners. In the spirit of truth and reconciliation, these initiatives aim to connect Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples, while celebrating the rich histories and cultures of Indigenous communities, as well as,  the festival's core mission of promoting music, performing arts, and diversity.
