ABOUT THE FESTIVAL:

Co-presented by Simon Fraser University and the City of Burnaby, in participation with

many local Burnaby organizations, Connect Fest is a week-long series of free events,

featuring performances, lectures, discussions, tours, and more, all designed to inform,

engage, and spark creative conversations among Burnaby’s vibrant and diverse

audiences.

At Connect Fest, we think of community engagement as an inclusive form of knowledgemaking

and knowledge-sharing characterized by respect and reciprocity. This doesn’t

only happen at Connect Fest—the City of Burnaby welcomes your ideas and input all

year round.
