Palestine Day Festival, Downtown Kitchener, 1pm-9pm on Sunday 12 July 2026

The 5th Annual KW Palestine Festival introduces Ounadikom, or Palestine Calls on You.

Hosted by the Palestinian Youth Movement and Sporas Scattered.

As the genocidal Zionist entity continues its campaign of ethnic cleansing against our people, and the cancer of Zionism continues to spread in our region, our people remain standing, steadfast and unshakable in the face of bombing campaigns, imprisonment, forced displacement and more. They refuse to bow down or accept the barbarity of the Zionist regime, resolute in their pursuit of complete and total liberation.

This year, we call on you to join us in honoring their steadfastness and resistance as we come together for the fifth annual KW Palestine Festival, Ounadikom. We will renew our commitment to the Palestinian cause, and ground ourselves in the role we play in the diaspora through various exhibits, performances, presentations and a celebration of our culture.

The 3rd annual KW Palestine Festival introduces Solidarity Day: The World Stands with Palestine🇵🇸

Hosted by Sporas Scattered and the Palestinian Youth Movement.

Due to the ongoing genocide in Gaza, we have changed the nature of this event from one of celebration to one of commemoration. Through this event, we hope to raise funds to support those in Gaza facing hardship and raise awareness of the Palestinian cause. As a Solidarity event, we seek to foster connections with our community and allies, uniting people who have been directly or indirectly affected by the current events. This is a safe space to express and connect with Palestine culture and tradition.
