SparkFest – a celebration of multiculturalism, diversity, and inclusivity

On June 22, 2024, BGC Moncton hosted an unforgettable event, SparkFest, at Riverfront Park. The day was filled with activities and performances that brought the community together for a celebration of culture, creativity, and fun.

The event was designed for the whole family to enjoy. Attendees explored cultures from around the world with a multicultural stage performance, got creative with hair braiding and face painting, and interacted with adorable animals at the petting zoo. The Tree of the World invited everyone to leave their mark, while decorating flower pots and planting something special added a touch of green to the festivities. An interactive map allowed participants to share their home countries. Henna art, bouncy castles, dress-up fun, and a photo booth ensured there was something for everyone. The foaming machine and balloon making added to the fun with bursts of frothy and colorful excitement.

SparkFest featured a stellar lineup of performers, including Signal Hill, Bouhala Music Band, Groupe Manara Band, Latin Vibe Dance Group, Mr. Mark, The Greater Moncton Chinese Cultural Association and others. The stage buzzed with energy from 12 PM to 9 PM, providing non-stop entertainment and celebration.
