The National Multicultural Festival, held annually in Canberra began as a one-day event that was started by the ACT Ethnic Communities Council in 1980.
In 1997, the newly established ACT Office of Multicultural Affairs staged the first week-long Festival as a means of celebrating Canberra and Australia’s cultural diversity.
The Festival is an initiative of the ACT Government and is administered by the Office of Multicultural Affairs and Community Development, a division of the Department of Disability, Housing and Community Services.
