As we continue to grow and develop City of Vaughan, especially its downtown (Vaughan Metropolitan Centre), we want to put efforts in focusing on creating a more urban city that will integrate arts and culture into its public realm. We want to ensure that we make art accessible, valuing it as a placemaking catalyst by providing cultural events and programs to celebrate the diverse cultures that we share together.

Vaughan International Music Festival is one of those programs which we believe will help showcase both professional and local young artists from all background within all genre of music and at the same time, attracting and promoting our city and beyond, helping to stimulate our economy locally and provincially.

We recognize that Music and Arts are critical components to establishing City of Vaughan as a world class destination!!!
