Cultural Diversity Week is Victoria’s largest multicultural celebration with events held in Melbourne and across Victoria.
In 2020, the Week will be held from 21 – 29 March under the theme ‘Curiosity. Conversation. Community.’
We plan to bring people together to not only celebrate Victoria’s diversity, but to also spark their curiosity about culture and about each other. We plan to lead a conversation about multiculturalism, what it means in 2020 and to showcase how it strengthens our community.
We invite you to join the conversation, attend one of our events or host your own!
When is it held?
Cultural Diversity Week is held in March every year to coincide with the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial and Harmony on 21 March.
