Carrousel of Nations

Carrousel Villages offer visitors unique opportunities to explore the Windsor Region’s cultural diversity.

Over the weekends of June 20-22 and 27-29, 2014, ethno-cultural groups open their cultural centres in celebration of their country.  Visitors can delight in the tastes, sounds and traditions of these cultures as they present the greatest music, dance, history, art, and especially the food of their country.  One warning – once you start indulging in Polish pierogis, German sausages, Italian pasta, and Romanian pastries – it will be difficult to stop!
