What is Mosaic

Mosaic is the primary and best known activity organized by the Regina Multicultural Council. This is a non-profit organization with the following aims:

• To further the development and promotion of the cultures and folk arts of all ethno cultural groups;
• To promote co-operation and mutual understanding among these groups;
• To promote multiculturalism; and
• To promote and retain heritage languages and cultural traditions as essential components of multiculturalism.

Now using the theme “A festival of cultures,” Mosaic has been held annually since 1974, when it began as a one-day festival. Since 1978, it has grown into a three-day event held in early June at pavilions located throughout Regina. Every pavilion features traditional foods, displays of arts and crafts and entertainment by musicians and dancers.

Participation History

Since Mosaic's inception in 1974, the Regina Hungarian Cultural and Social Club has been a participant in Mosaic each year. Throughout the years, our pavilion has featured the following attractions:

• Displays of authentic arts and crafts from Hungary.
• Live craft demonstration, showing how our beautiful costumes and table clothes are made.

While enjoying this dance tour of Hungary, you will also be tempted by the authentic Hungarian cuisine being served. Featuring such favorites as Langos and porkolt(stew), there is something for everyone. If you have a sweet tooth, there is also baking that can't be found anywhere else in Regina.
