Celebrating Cultural Diversity Week
Since its launch in 2010, Harmony Fest has become a vibrant celebration of diversity in Ballarat.
Harmony Fest wraps around Harmony Day – the United Nation’s International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, celebrated on 21 March. The day encourages Australians to come together to reflect on and celebrate the many cultures that create our great nation.
