As the longest running multicultural festival in Saskatchewan, Mosaic — A Festival of Culture has become a highly anticipated event in Regina.
It started off as a single-day event, but 55 years later, 15 pavilions run entirely by volunteers are inviting you to visit them over three days from June 5 to June 7, 2025.
How does it work?
This event provides an opportunity for members of ethno-cultural communities to be able to promote their culture within the City of Regina. Mosaic - A Festival of Cultures allows the multicultural community to provide a family focused event that celebrates culture while building public awareness about the rich cultural diversity in our community.
This is done by each community hosting their own 'pavilion' at various venues around the city. At every pavilion, you can watch cultural performances while enjoying customary food and drink and learning more about their history and traditions through displays and exhibits. To get access into every pavilion, all you need is your passport which you can buy at any one of them. The more you visit, the more stamps you'll get inside it.
Not sure where to visit? Check out the map & bus routes on their official site to plan your adventure. Yes, bus transportation is provided!
Throughout the course of the week, we'll also be putting a spotlight on the people behind the pavilions. Explore those stories here:
