This month of March, Toronto will be overtaken by exciting programming celebrating a culture of fusion that looks into a future of continuous discovery. Portuguese is the 6th most spoken language in the world and third most used on the internet. Canada has officially about 500,000 Portuguese, but many more descendants.
The festival includes cultural presentations divided into two categories:
1) DESCENDANTS IN THE AMERICAN CONTINENT; the programming includes young Portuguese-Canadians in the music world including Sonia Tavares and Paulo Filipe with An Evening of Fado, soloists Nancy Dutra and Lucas Silveira, Louis Simão and the Portuguese Guitar, the comedy of The Portuguese Kids, amongst others.

An then there is THE CONFERENCE: on Saturday, March 17th at MOD Club Theatre one can learn about the best programming in Canada that relates to the youth and their Portuguese culture, as well as some exciting projects and products coming out of Portugal; meet amazing individuals, from all walks of life, yet, we might not be necessarily aware that they are of Portuguese ancentry.
