On January 25th, 2025, we hosted Airdrie's first-ever Taste of Nations event in collaboration with Welcoming Airdrie, Rocky View Immigrant Services, and other community partners. The event featured over 18 cultural booths and performances, attracting over 500 attendees!
We celebrated Airdrie’s vibrant multiculturalism through live performances, traditional dances, and a delightful exchange of cultural foods. It was a FREE EVENT, and many brought their family, friends, and neighbours!
We are currently planning for Taste of Nations 2026!
