VIMF 2025 is a completely FREE, all-ages celebration of culture, music, food, and community, taking place July 4 & 5 at Assembly Park in Vaughan.

This year, we’re thrilled to bring back two fan-favourite experiences: our International Food Trucks and Beer & Wine Garden, now featuring local vendors offering global cuisine. The festival continues to reflect Vaughan’s vibrant cultural landscape and community spirit.

A new addition to 2025 includes six unique programs at THE STUDIO, where guests can take part in international dance classes and attend a hands-on Live Performance Engineering Workshop — an exciting opportunity for aspiring artists, engineers, and creatives.

Our carefully curated artist lineup features standout talent across genres, with two major headliners leading the charge:
Karl Wolf (July 4) – Lebanese-Canadian global hitmaker and “Father of A-Pop” with chart-toppers like Africa and Butterflies.
Nicolina (July 5) – Vaughan’s own breakout star from American Idol Season 20, bringing her powerhouse vocals to the VIMF stage.

Other exciting performers include Tara Lord, Benita, Matt Von, Kalisway, Pan Fantasy Band, Daniel Monte, Elyssa Plaza, Kilcasca, DJ Shannyn Hill, and Lua Shayenne Dance Company, among many others. The weekend will showcase a dynamic mix of music, dance, and workshops — truly something for everyone.
