This year, DESIFEST is set to deliver a groundbreaking event with an exclusively Canadian all-star lineup, marking the first festival of its kind in the country! Over the past two years, our commitment to cultivating local talent has been unwavering. We’ve invested heavily in community-driven initiatives such as artist development programs, open mic nights, and micro-shows, all designed to elevate and empower South Asian singers, songwriters, musicians, and DJs from across Canada.

These efforts have not only supported the artistic growth of individual performers but have also fostered a vibrant and thriving music community. As a result, we’re proud to showcase the culmination of this hard work at this year’s festival.

Join us on June 8th at Yonge-Dundas Square in the heart of Toronto for DESIFEST, proudly presented by TD. Experience the dynamic energy and rich diversity of our first-ever all-Canadian lineup. It’s a celebration of music, culture, and community spirit that highlights the best of what Canada has to offer. Don’t miss this landmark event where local talent shines on a national stage!
