On Saturday Bowen came alive with the Whitsunday Multicultural Festival. Organised by the Whitsunday Regional Council the free family-friendly event showcased traditional dance, global cuisine, music, art, storytelling and interactive activities.
The festival closed with fireworks at 8pm, lighting up the cool Whitsunday winter sky.
Whitsunday Regional Council Mayor Ry Collins said the Whitsunday Multicultural Festival has become a signature event in the region and it is a celebration of the many cultures across the Whitsunday region.
“This region really and truly is proudly diverse. This festival today gives us a chance to honour that diversity through food, music, dance, art and storytelling, and to recognise these fantastic traditions that shape our community,” said Mayor Ry Collins.
“I encourage you all to take in the performances, try some new flavours, and connect with one another and respect the value of multiculturalism. It's what helps make the Whitsundays such a warm, dynamic and connected place that we live.”
