Can-Am Peace Jam at Canadiana Fest

Celebrate Canadian culture, community and cross-border connections at the Can-Am Peace Jam at Canadiana Fest, a family-friendly cultural festival in downtown Kalamazoo.

Taking over Arcadia Creek Festival Place, Canadiana Fest brings together live music, comedy, food, art, sports and cultural experiences inspired by Canada’s diverse heritage. The 2026 festival places a special spotlight on French-Canadian culture and its influence on the art, music, food and history of North America.

Throughout the day, festivalgoers can enjoy live musical performances and comedy, explore Canadian and Indigenous art and vendors, experience cultural presentations and living history, and try their hand at Canadian sports and games. Foodies can also get in on the fun with the World Champion Poutine Competition and Butter Tart Competition.

From music and culture to poutine, curling and plenty of Canadian spirit, Canadiana Fest offers a full day of experiences for all ages in the heart of downtown Kalamazoo.
