A Beautiful Day Celebrating Thai Culture in Québec City
Updated: Sep 3
Last Sunday, I traveled from Montréal to Québec City to attend the Thai Gastronomy Festival 2026 at Parc Durocher.
I wasn’t there as a food vendor or caterer. I simply wanted to be there as a Thai person living in Canada, to celebrate and support Thai food, culture, and traditions.
The festival was held to celebrate 65 years of diplomatic relations between Thailand and Canada.
It was a pleasure and an honor to meet H.E. Darm Boontham, Ambassador of Thailand to Canada, who attended the event with his spouse, along with many distinguished guests and members of the Thai community in Québec who came together for this special occasion.
The festival featured Thai food, cooking demonstrations, traditional Thai dance, Muay Thai demonstrations, and authentic Thai products. The atmosphere was warm, joyful, and filled with Thai pride.
For me, this was more than just a food festival. It was a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with Thai culture, meet members of the Thai community, and experience a little feeling of home while living far from Thailand.
I’m truly grateful to have been part of this beautiful celebration, and proud to be Thai.
