Somali Heritage Week – Official Playlist 🎉

Somali Heritage Week (June 25 – July 1) celebrates Somali arts, history, and culture across Alberta and Canada. It is officially recognized by the Government of Alberta (Ministerial Order 2024-10) and the City of Edmonton, with federal recognition efforts underway through Bill C-348: Somali Heritage Month Act.

Highlights include flag raisings (June 26–27), Somali Cultural Night, the Iftiin Graduation & Youth Ambassadors program, and a joint Canada Day & Somali Independence Day celebration on July 1.

Through music, dance, storytelling, food, sports, and intercultural dialogue, Somali Heritage Week uplifts Somali-Canadian voices, empowers youth, and builds bridges across communities.
