Cultural Diversity Week at a Glance

Victoria is Australia’s most culturally diverse state, and one of the most multicultural regions in the world. Every

year in March, Victorians of all cultural backgrounds, faiths, ages and walks of life come together at events held all over

the state for Cultural Diversity Week. Cultural Diversity Week is Victoria’s biggest and brightest celebration of multiculturalism,

showcasing the vibrant sights, sounds and tastes of our rich and evolving multicultural community. It’s a chance to learn,

share, connect and enjoy – to honour our differences while simultaneously uniting in our shared humanity.

When

In its 17th year, Cultural Diversity Week will run from 16 to 24 March 2019. The week coincides

with the United Nations’ International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination,

which is held annually on 21 March.

What

Cultural Diversity Week kicks off with the Premier’s Gala Dinner, culminates with

Victoria’s Multicultural Festival and Culture Waves concert, and is complemented

by the VMC Film Festival in May. In addition to these flagship events, there

are hundreds of festivals, exhibitions, talks and performances hosted by community

organisations, business, sporting clubs and local councils all around the state.

Who

Cultural Diversity Week is presented by the Victorian Multicultural Commission with

support from the Victorian Government. But it’s the Victorian community who

really bring the week to life, and who have succeeded in making it the state’s biggest

and brightest multicultural celebration. With 45,000 attendees at Victoria’s Multicultural

Festival and Culture Waves concert and 1,400 guests at the Premier’s Gala Dinner – not to

mention more than 200 performers across the three events – Cultural Diversity Week is a

fantastic opportunity to deepen your engagement with multicultural and mainstream audiences.
