Along with this exciting news of Youth Day’s international growth, Duggan was also pleased to announce that for the eighth consecutive year, Youth Day will be taking place in Toronto’s Dundas Square.
As if this news was not enough, Duggan also promised that the festival will be even bigger and better than ever, adding fashion and film making to Youth Day’s already extensive list of arts that include music, dance, visual arts and photography.

This press conference was also used to speak about a new Youth Day film project allowing youth to work with and learn from successful Film Makers. This year’s film will be entitled Three Angels, and is about a seven year old boy who finds happiness and success in America after running away from his war torn country.
In addition to the press conference. the gathering at the Hard Rock Cafe also showcased many young artists and organizations such as Think Don’t Shoot, Liberty Silvers, Spider Jones and Read 2 Rap. With over 40 different speeches and performances, the evening was both exciting and informative. Hearing how important the Youth Day Festival is to young adults all over the world was very inspirational.
Rocking all night!
