Culture Days is a national celebration of arts and culture that takes place over three weeks every fall. Millions of people attend thousands of free participatory events, presentations, activities, workshops, and more that showcase, share, and explore the artistic and cultural personality of every participating community.  

Culture Days programs invite the public to get hands-on and behind-the-scenes to highlight the importance of sharing and connecting through arts and culture.
