Gipsy added that a number of Arab countries will participate in presenting  heritage and artistic segments  including Egypt - Palestine - Algeria - Tunisia - Yemen - Syria. 
Ms. Gipsy explained
 that this festival was established in 2019 with the aim of
raising awareness about diversity and inclusion among multicultural communities in the world and in Canada.  This is achieved by  presenting  their values and heritage through discussions and intercultural cooperation. Therefore, this celebration includes a forum for traditional and distinctive music of the countries participating in the event alongside artistic performances and traditional clothing shows, in addition to a number of various workshops, and a contest to select a queen in her traditional dress representing her country before a committee composed of several judges. At the conclusion of the event, prizes are awarded to the winners.
