Windsor-Essex 2022 Carrousel of the Nations

I am so glad that the return of Carrousel of the Nations was able to happen this year in-person. Going strong for 47 years now, the Multicultural Council of Windsor and Essex County organizes this event with the help of many volunteers and sponsors. It's actually deemed one of the most celebrated events of its kind in Canada!

It's a great way to celebrate and learn about different cultures, try new cuisines or even enjoy favourite traditional ones, and sit back and enjoy some spectacular performances.

Unfortunately, we couldn't get to all of them in the two weekend span, but we managed a few for a really fun date night, including  Greek, Caribbean and Bavarian Villages. Above are just a few samplings we had! 

Funny enough, we missed going to the Serbian Village, but living so close in proximity to where it was held, we were able to hear a lot of the music from a really cool Serbian band called Mystique throughout the evening time with just our windows open.

Here are some previous blog posts from other Villages we went to over the years that you can browse through!

Carrousel of the Nations: Eating our way through the city of Windsor


We enjoyed a variety of delicious cultural food and entertainment at the Carrousel of the Nations around the city of Windsor, Ontario.  This is one of my favourite events and I'm so happy that I was able to go this year.  Next weekend, if time permits, we'll stop in for some yummy German schnitzel and dumplings.

We were able to check out so far the Macedonian, Scottish, Caribbean, Polish and Serbian Villages. Each one comes with its own charm and who can forget the delicious food choices. 

Enjoy some photos below!
