Italian Week Ottawa: June 9 – 19, 2022
June 9, 2022 - June 19, 2022
THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD…
ITALIANS, AND THOSE WHO WISH THEY WERE ITALIAN. EITHER WAY, YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
We are so excited to see you in person again!
THE FESTIVAL RUNS JUNE 9 TO 19, 2022
Italian culture is traditionally gregarious and boisterous, warm and generous, proud and family-focused; but it is also modern and stylish, appealing, and magnetic. Our vision is to create shared experiences to remind Italian-Canadians who remain entrenched in their Italian culture to celebrate their heritage; to hold space for Italians who are new to Canada to feel at home; to give Italian-Canadians who are no longer culturally Italian a chance to express themselves; and to invite Canadians with no Italian heritage to experience what it means to be Italian for a moment.
CHILDREN’S ART CONTEST
Our art contest is back! Italian Week is inviting Ottawa’s children ages 4 to 10 to submit artwork related to the theme of “Celebrating Friendship”. Grab your art supplies and show us what friendship means to you!
