Peace Tree Day Introduction
Peace Tree Day is an annual festival for children and families of every culture and faith to celebrate peace, diversity and fusion through the arts!
Children around the world are creating Peace Trees that highlight symbols from all our cultures and faiths on one tree to reflect the beauty of 'diversity in unity'.
Peace Tree Day, which takes place on June 1st every year, is celebrated in cities, organizations, classrooms, homes and through school boards. The festival inspires children to take pride in their heritage and to share it with others, while also discovering the vibrant cultures, traditions and festivals arounds the world. It is also a time to encourage young people to share their talents and develop compassion for others. Students from diverse backgrounds will work together by combining elements from different cultures, to create new forms of art, which will help raise funds to assist underprivileged children around the globe. Peace Tree Day will inspire young people to contribute to society while they explore and celebrate the beauty of every culture and faith to create peace in our world.
Join us on June 1, at Mel Lastman Square for Canada's largest peace festival for children and youth. From 12:00p.m. to 2:00p.m. discover a world of diversity through the arts. The Peace Tree Concert will begin at 1:00p.m.where you will see the African-Cuban dance, Ogun, the classical Indian dance, Kathak, the Cha Cha Cha, the Lion Dance and much more. Happy Peace Tree Day everyone!
