Organized by the non-profit group Arts and Culture Initiative of South Asia (ACISA,) the 7th annual Vibrant Brampton presented by TD will bring a fun-filled two-day outdoor festival to Garden Square, Brampton.

The outdoor festival promises to bring an eclectic mix of programming that will include high energy performances by Punjabi Pop Singer from UK- JAZ DHAMI, who has oer 30 singles and 4 Albums and will make the crowd dance and sing to several foot tapping numbers. Some of his hit numbers include “High Heel the Nache” from the film “Ki & Ka” starring Kareena Kapoor & Arjun Kapoor featuring Aditi Singh Sharma and Yo Yo Honey Singh and “Humne Pee Rakhi Hai” with co-singers Neha Kakkar and Ikka Singh from the film “Sanam Re”. His chartbusters “Meh Punjabi Boli Ah”, “Roj Miliye” Theke Wali” and his recent number “Bas” featuring Karan Aujla have hit millions of views. 

For Punjabi music lovers there’s another feast for their ears- Canadian Folk Bhangra Artist- GEETA ZAILDAR.  best known for his hit tracks “Chitte Suit Te”, “Seeti Maar Ke”, “Billo Nach Nach Ke”, “Sair”, “Heartbeat”, “Ranjhe”, “Nain”, “Underestimate”, “Bukal”, “Thumka”, and many more classics, most of which he penned himself.

“We’re back in person for you!” says co-founder Ricky Bajaj. “You’ll be able to sway and swing to the hit numbers of Aditi, Jaz, and Geeta, eat delicious food and shop. We’ve got Butter Chicken, Biryani, Shawarma, Burritos, Samosas, Gol Gappe, Chaat Papri, Bhelpuri, Clothing, Jewelry, and Handicrafts from local businesses.”

  A special feast for the kids is in the offing this year with magic shows, face-painting, and community arts project on both the days. To engage the whole family, the festival offers free hands-on Bollywood & Salsa dance workshops. 

An amalgamation of culture and diversity in Ontario, Vibrant Brampton promotes local talent and includes an exciting line-up of budding artists and well-known names in the entertainment industry that appeals to all. 

“Vibrant Brampton aims to promote cross-cultural understanding with the hope of bringing a diverse community together in celebration of life, culture, art, and tradition, ” says Arpan Banerjee, co-founder. 

Some of this year’s acts from Canadian artists include “Jadoo Entertainment”, Mudra Dance Academy, Shivanjali Dance School, Nachdi Jawani Group, R&B United Band, and Aqua Nibii Waawaaskone and her band of indigenous artists.

Additionally new this year are “In-person” finale rounds of “Vstar Talent Hunt & Mentorship Program for upcoming Canadian Artists” at Cyril Clark Auditorium on July 9 and a classical music & dance concert on July 16 at the Lester B Pearson Theatre.

Stemming from the need and demand for a platform for local Classical Music and Dance artists to showcase their art forms in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) was born the idea for Vibrant Classical a couple years back. However, due to the pandemic both #Vstar and Vibrant Classical were held in virtual formats in the past two years and this will be their first time in the form of a live brick & mortar event.
