WORLD MUSIC CELEBRATION

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 TorontoTM , as well as the nearby Wish Come True Festival by FriendsWithYou.

UNHCR has been in existence since 1951 and is the UN body responsible for providing refugees worldwide with protection and assistance. UNHCR works in 110 countries, and has been present in Canada since 1976.
