Melton council is hosting a Harmony Day event, and is inviting residents to join in the event by and celebrating the many different cultures that make the municipality a vibrant and diverse place to live.
Since 1999, Harmony Day has been observed annually as a national day on March 21 to celebrate togetherness through diversity.
On Saturday, March 18, communities across Melton will come together at the Willows Historical Park, Reserve Road, Melton to celebrate Harmony Day 2023 with an event that council said is an opportunity for all Australians to embrace cultural diversity and to share what we have in common.
From 11am-3pm Melton council will host a free event packed with kids’ activities, cultural performances, multicultural food, and more for you to enjoy with your family and friends.
Mayor Lara Carli said Harmony Day is a “celebration of how we are stronger together – and how our community belongs to everyone, and everyone belongs here with us“.
“We celebrate the unique values, skills and customs people from diverse backgrounds bring to our city. We come together to learn more about each other and enjoy the special traditions and experiences that all our residents bring to our city,“ she said.
