The National Multicultural Festival has been named Best Community Event.
14 September 2023
Canberra’s renowned National Multicultural Festival won the Best Community Event category at the Australian Event Awards last night.
The festival also contributed to an overall win for the ACT in the State or Territory Award.
The win is testament to the hard work of many. From the organisers to the hundreds of performers, stallholders, performers, volunteers and community leaders who together create the festival’s joyous and celebratory atmosphere.
The festival was also a finalist in the Best Cultural, Arts or Music Event category.
All records were broken in February 2023 as the 25th anniversary marked the biggest and best National Multicultural Festival yet, bringing together 170 cultures and affirming Canberra as a proudly welcoming and inclusive city.
Australia’s largest celebration of cultural diversity attracted 380,000 people in 2023 and made a total economic benefit of $20.8 million to the local economy.
The 2024 National Multicultural Festival will be held on 16-18 February 2024.
