Tamil Fest 2026
About this event
The Canadian Tamil Congress (CTC) is thrilled to announce that Tamil Fest, the premier Tamil cultural street festival is moving to the City of Markham beginning with the highly anticipated 2026 edition.
For more than a decade, Tamil Fest has served as a proud symbol of Tamil culture and achievement, bringing together communities from across Canada and around the world. Recognized as the largest Tamil Street festival outside of South Asia, Tamil Fest attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors each year from Canada, the United States, Europe, and beyond. The festival provides a vibrant platform to showcase and celebrate the rich history, enduring heritage, diverse artistic traditions, and world-class cuisine of the Tamil community, while fostering cultural understanding, pride, and connection for future generations.
This year, the festival enters an exciting new era. We are incredibly grateful to Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti and the City of Markham for welcoming Tamil Fest to Markham. Tamil Fest 2026 will take place on Saturday, August 22 and Sunday, August 23, 2026.
Stay tuned for more updates by visiting the official CTC website and following Tamil Fest on social media.
