Held to celebrate Harmony Day, the Multicultural Festival has become a highlight on the region’s events calendar.
Snowy Monaro Regional Council Mayor John Rooney is encouraging the community to head along to this year’s festival.
“Our region is proud of our multicultural community and the festival is a wonderful way of celebrating this,” Mayor Rooney said.
“I’m looking forward to this year’s festival. It’s set to be a great day with the festival held in conjunction with the monthly Rotary Markets.”
The Festival is free and family friendly.
