DESIFEST Inc.

Founded in 2006, DESIFEST is one of Canada’s largest celebrations of South Asian urban culture — a dynamic, multi-disciplinary festival that brings music, art, and community together while driving positive social and economic impact.

But DESIFEST is more than a festival. It’s a non-profit, youth-powered movement that puts local artists on the map and creates space for diverse communities to connect, express, and thrive through culture — not just for a weekend, but all year long.

Through artist development programs, mentorship, and creative opportunities across music, media, and live performance, DESIFEST helps young people grow their craft, build real careers, and spark civic pride — all while fueling the cultural life of the city we love.
