Over nine years, the Burnaby Festival of Learning has brought the community together to learn from each other and enrich each other’s lives. Every year, one thing becomes clearer and clearer: community learning is powerful. Our deep interconnectedness with each other (and the planet) forms a strong foundation for vibrant community knowledge exchange.
It was time for our festival name to reflect just how important that interconnectedness is. And so was born, Connect Fest.
Connect Fest remains a festival by the community, for the community.
Where folks in our community come forward to share their knowledge, voices, traditions, and truths, honouring the land we’re on as our “classroom”, honouring the places we’re from for the wisdom they’ve given us.
So, get ready to join us April 26–30, 2024 as we celebrate how stories bring communities together, along with new knowledge, cultural exchange, inspiration, food, art, music, and more.
