National Multicultural Festival

Canberra bursts into life with one of Australia’s largest celebrations of multicultural diversity—the National Multicultural Festival! Over 170 nationalities come together for three vibrant days of culture, music, dance, food, and more, creating a kaleidoscope of colours, sights, sounds, and flavours. Experience the excitement of the iconic parade, indulge in delicious bites from food stalls, dance to live music across multiple stages, enjoy cooking demonstrations, or participate in cultural workshops to learn something new. There’s something for everyone!
