“Harmony Day is a chance to come together to learn more about each other and enjoy the special traditions and experiences that all our residents bring to the City of Melton,” Cr Kesic said.
“ Let’s share what we have in common, from the Traditional Owners of this land to those who have come from many countries around the world.
“Come along and celebrate our city’s cultural diversity, meet new people and share in a day of
cultural respect and appreciation.”
The event is free.
