The One North Festival debuted in 2026 as a new multicultural showcase held at the Kiwanis Bandshell and waterfront in North Bay, Ontario. Organized by Nipissing ARTS and Culture, the event operates under the theme "One Community, Many Cultures, One North." It is designed to bring together diverse local communities—including those with roots in Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Latin America—through a shared appreciation for world-class music and arts.

The festival program highlights a variety of musical artists and cultural performances in a family-friendly environment along Lake Nipissing. Supported by the City of North Bay and Celebrate Canada, the event aims to foster community unity and social connection. Following its successful first edition, organizers have planned for the festival to become an annual occurrence, often aligned with National Multiculturalism Day.
