Motif is an annual three day outdoor multicultural festival held at Moose Jaw's Happy Valley Park
the second weekend of each July.
Three day passes can be purchased in advance at the Moose Jaw Multicultural Council Office located at 60 Athabasca Street East.
Three Day Passes are now Available
This festival provides an opportunity for many different cultures to come together and share their foods, dance, music and artwork. Motif began in 1974 as a once a year event held in conjunction with the local July 1st, Canada Day Celebration.
The festival was moved to September in 1978 and formally named "Motif". In 1990, Motif moved to a three day event to accommodate the growing interest and number of members.
Programming/Entertainment:
Entertainment is provided on a raised outdoor stage in a small clearing with beautiful old oak trees to provide shade. We also encourage patrons to bring lawn chairs and blankets "just in case"! Entertainment is showcased by the member groups along with other special guest acts that are brought in from out of town.
Entertainment Headliners:
The Motif audience ranges from the very young to the very old. Motif has grown over the years and has attracted people from all over Canada, the United States, and other parts of the world. So come bring the family and travel the world in three days!
SPECIAL ATTRACTION FOR CHILDREN!
As a pilot project in 1999, the Moose Jaw Multicultural Council introduced a Children's Cultural Program of cross-cultural programming during Motif. The purpose of this area is to provide children ages five through twelve the opportunity to experience various cultures through hands-on activities such as crafts, games, songs, dance and much, much more.
All sessions are completely free and you can sign up for as many sessions as you wish! These activities are held all day, Friday through Sunday.
