Queensland Multicultural Week
The first-ever event celebrates the many positives of sharing culture and traditions.
Overview
This year the Queensland Government are trying something a little bit different and it looks exciting! 2013 marks the first ever Queensland Multicultural Week from 31 August to 8 September. Across the state you will find a variety of activities to partake in to celebrate the diversity of our Sunshine State.
The week long celebration acknowledges the positives of a multicultural state and looks at what we can learn through the sharing of traditions and cultures in a respectful manner. Some of the events in this year's program include the Transcultural Dance Festival, Community Shield Football Tournament and Ethno of the Road Music Tour amongst plenty others. The theatre production I Am Here, performed by six Brisbane actors from African refugee backgrounds, is a standout of Queensland Multicultural Week.
