UNITY Festival

The 2011 UNITY Festival is a multi-day festival taking place at a few public venues across the City of Toronto. The festival will commemorate the past year’s accomplishments from student performers that participated in after school programs and assemblies. The festival will be an opportunity for youth to showcase their artistic talent and VOICE, as well as their stories, through urban-art form. UNITY Festival will allow student performers to share the stage with professional acts at each event. UNITY will be partnering with SPEAKOut, Art Starts and Euphonic Sound to deliver this united festival experience.
