A World of PARADOX at Indian Summer Festival 2024!
Announcing ISF2024
From July 4-14, 2024, the Indian Summer Festival will showcase over 80 artists across a spectrum of arts, from live concerts to thought-provoking discussions and breathtaking visual arts displays right here in Vancouver.
This Year’s Theme: PARADOX
You are invited to a ten-day artistic exploration that unravels the beauty of contradictions under the timely theme of “PARADOX.”
Throughout this year’s festival, we will grapple with the dualities that shape our existence—from the ancient myths that formed our past to the sublime visions forecasting our future. Each day will be a celebration of the interconnectedness of our seemingly disparate realities.
