NSW Minister for Multiculturalism Steve Kamper said:

“These celebrations not only serve to showcase the vibrancy and richness of NSW communities for all to share and appreciate, but they are also integral to the success of our state.”

“Cultural diversity is a precious part of our identity and way of life in NSW and something we should not take for granted.”

“I encourage all community events organisers in NSW interested in delivering festivals and events that support community harmony in 2025 to apply!”
