Harmony Week & Other Events

Every year in March we celebrate Harmony Week recognising the fabulous cultural diversity in our community.  This annual event is free and showcases our local cultural performers and foods. 

Throughout the year we also run other events and activities to highlight special days or special multicultural members of our community.

Follow us on Facebook to see when these events are happening.
