Groups from Western Australia’s culturally and linguistically diverse (CaLD) communities will be displaying their culture through dance and music at the Harmony Week International Festival taking place at Forrest Place tomorrow (March 18).
Hosted by the Russian Ethnic Community and Youth Development Association, the festival will bring together 12 community groups who will entertain with traditional and contemporary performances.
The festival seeks to bridge cultural barriers through the language of dance and music, as well as supporting the local performers and community groups involved.
The McGowan Government is proud to support the Harmony Week International Festival with $5,000 through the Office of Multicultural Interests’ Community Grants Program.
The Harmony Week International Festival is one of the many events happening around the State to mark Harmony Week, which 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.
