World Music Celebration
JUNE 20
Throughout World Refugee Day, Luminato’s free closing concert brings you music from around the globe. Luminato’s closing day falls on June 20, the same date as World Refugee Day. In honour of this United Nations designated occasion, the Festival brings together an international roster of artists for a free all-day concert in Queen’s Park. As the performers pay musical tribute to all those from around the world who have found refuge in Canada and who now make this country their home, their concert is also the destination for the World Refugee Activities including Reading of the Proclamation and Awards Ceremony for Child and Youth Poetry Contest Commemorating World Refugee Day. Come spend a day enjoying the music of the world and celebrating Canada’s role as a safe haven for the displaced. And while you’re in the neighbourhood, don’t forget to sample our city’s diverse culinary culture at President’s Choice® 1000 Tastes of Toronto , as well as the nearby Wish Come True Festival by FriendsWithYou.
