Celebrate the National Multicultural Festival with city businesses

This year the excitement of the National Multicultural Festival is spilling into city shops, restaurants, bars, and all the way up to Braddon and City West.

There are thrilling things to discover before and during the Festival, as well as during the night after the main events have wrapped up each evening. Join us for hands-on activities, late night parties, and find goodies inspired by local and global cultures. Most of these activities take place indoors, making them the perfect way to beat the heat without missing the action.
