Why Edmonton Togather Chinatown Arts Festival

Togather is a loose translation of the Chinese saying “不见不散 (Bùjiàn bùsàn). It means “Don’t leave until we meet.”

Started in 2024, the Togather Chinatown Arts Festival is a celebration of art, community and the Lunar New Year in Chinatown. Local artists and micro businesses come together to hold space for multiculturalism, inclusion, collaboration, and sharing through the arts.
