Cultural Diversity Week

Cultural Diversity Week is a special time for us to celebrate and reflect on our rich cultural history and the contribution people of diverse backgrounds have made to our community. The week encompasses Harmony Day and is celebrated in March each year.

The 2024 theme for Cultural Diversity Week was Our shared stories - celebrating together. The theme invited Victorians of all ages and backgrounds to reflect on multicultural Victoria's cultures and celebrate its bright future.

Check back next year to see the events schedule. In the meantime, check out the range of celebrations we enjoyed this year.
