Kultrun World Music Festival 2022

June 30, 2022

Kultrún World Music Festival is back in St Jacobs, and this year we have an incredible line up of international, national, and local artists. As a world music festival that's been running for over 20 years, we share our history of dedication to building bridges in the community through music, dance, drama, literary, and visual arts.The festival also offers inter-active workshops for children and adults, from drumming circles, to theatre to dance.

From Finland to Chile, from Korea to Colombia, KW to Quebec, we are gathering in the beautiful Village of St Jacobs, Ontario, with music, love, community and fun.

(See map and directions below)

The concerts and inter-active fun will be in the St Jacobs Baseball Diamond located next to the Health Valley Trail, behind the Fire Station at 3 Water Street. There's plenty of FREE PARKING in the tourist lot at Albert Street West and Water Street. SEE BELOW FOR DIRECTIONS

BRING A CHAIR OR PICNIC BLANKET, WATER BOTTLE (we have a refill station, thanks to St Jacobs Home Hardware), SUNSCREEN and your DANCING FEET!
