Overview

The Kraft Celebration Tour is a national initiative that sees TSN’s flagship sports news program, SPORTSCENTRE, broadcast live from 10 lucky communities across the country over a period of 10 days in August each year. Communities from coast-to-coast are invited to nominate their town as a broadcast location, and for a chance to win one of ten $25,000 community awards from Kraft to be used for improvements to a local facility.
