A multi-week event celebrating local cultural diversity is coming to Chatham-Kent this summer.

Taste of Chatham-Kent (TOCK) will take place from July 27 to September 30, featuring several events that will showcase unique and exciting cultural activities throughout the municipality.

“Taste of Chatham-Kent brings cultural events throughout CK together in a way that can be shared and promoted within the community,” said CK Mayor Darrin Canniff in a news release. “It’s a wonderful opportunity for Chatham-Kent to come together and celebrate our growing community, our growing cultural diversity, and all things that make Chatham-Kent an amazing place to live.”

Several events have already been scheduled such as the Newcomer Picnic in the Park on July 27 at Kingston Park, the Chatham-Kent International Food Festival at Tecumseh Park on August 16-18, and the CK World Cup Soccer Tournament on August 24.

Many other events are expected to be announced in the coming weeks, which will be organized by local cultural associations, businesses, and community groups.
