The Three Springs community will tomorrow (March 17) celebrate Harmony Week with ‘Welcome to Three Springs’ – a family-friendly multicultural community event.
Welcome to Three Springs will feature live cultural performances, local business stalls, interactive activities and a long-table dinner with authentic Malaysian and New Zealand cuisine.
The event will provide an opportunity for community members to meet each other and learn about the cultures that make up the town.
Many local families from the Mid-West town will be involved in the activities, which include a traditional New Zealand Hungi and Indian henna painting.
Locals will be invited to write their names on coloured paper hands, which will then be displayed as a giant heart to represent the Three Springs community.
The Office of Multicultural Interests’ Community is supporting Welcome to Three Springs with $2,300 through its Grants Program.
Welcome to Three Springs is one of the many events happening around the State to mark Harmony Week, an initiative of the State Government. Harmony Week gives everyone an opportunity to explore and appreciate Western Australia’s wealth of cultural, faith, linguistic and ethnic diversity.
Harmony Week runs from March 15 to 21 every year.
