Registration is now open for Culture Campout 2025, an enriching weekend event taking place from January 17-19. Culture Campout is dedicated to fostering intercultural community-building, celebration, and preservation, inviting attendees to experience a vibrant lineup of cultural exchanges, live performances and hands-on workshops.
Held annually, this immersive event is more than a festival; it’s a gathering of community members, artists and culture bearers from a wide range of backgrounds, with the shared goal of learning about and celebrating one another’s cultural traditions. Over three days, participants will engage in workshops on music, dance and language, as well as informal gatherings, jam sessions and live performances that honor both traditional and contemporary expressions of diverse cultures.
The schedule will feature dance and music workshops, language-learning tables, and cultural sharing sessions. Attendees can expect meal times that highlight diverse culinary traditions and vibrant jam sessions where cultures blend in real-time.
