Who We Are

FlickerTide Events was founded on a passion for celebrating Canada’s rich cultural diversity through festivals and community gatherings. What began as a small project in Montréal quickly blossomed into a nationwide movement, connecting city-dwellers and travelers to vibrant, authentic experiences across urban landscapes. We believe every festival is a story, and every attendee should feel included, inspired, and welcomed.

Our Mission

To create joyful connections between people and Canadian culture by making festivals accessible, memorable, and meaningful for everyone.

Our Vision

We envision Canada as a welcoming mosaic, where every city pulses with creativity, inclusivity, and shared celebration, uniting communities through the magic of festivals.

Core Values

• Inclusivity: Welcoming all backgrounds, cultures, and abilities.
• Authenticity: Promoting genuine local experiences over commercialized attractions.
• Passion: Fueled by genuine enthusiasm for culture and the arts.
• Collaboration: Building bridges between organizers, artists, and communities.
