Festi Monde is an initiative by ArtsConnect Ottawa dedicated to strengthening the artistic ecosystem of the Ottawa-Gatineau region.

We bring together artists, partners, and community members around a shared goal: to support, retain, and elevate local talent.

Through our events, we create spaces for connection, collaboration, and celebration-building a stronger, more inclusive, and sustainable arts community for the region.

Don’t miss the February 28th, 2026 main event . Festi Monde invites you to 9 hours of cultural immersion and celebration in the heart of Ottawa-Gatineau. This is more than a festival- it’s a bold invitation to explore, connect, and be inspired by the incredible richness of our communities.

From morning to night, enjoy an unforgettable mix of live music, culinary tastings, fashion shows, exhibitions, performances, art installations, family-friendly activities, networking spaces, creative workshops, and powerful conversations. All under one roof, all in one day.

Festi Monde brings together artists, audiences, families, and changemakers to celebrate diversity, talent, and shared humanity. Whether you’re an art lover, a community builder, or simply looking for an uplifting day out, this event is for you.

Even better: your ticket supports our 6-month Creative Incubator, where local artists co-create transformative works with lasting impact.

By attending, you become part of a movement that’s reshaping our city through culture and collaboration.
