Celebrate Kingston’s multicultural community, 16–24 March 2019
Kingston Council invites the community to join us for a weeklong celebration of our rich and diverse community at Cultural Diversity Week, 16–24 March 2019.
The week will feature a wide range of activities, including cultural dinners, sing-a-longs, dancing, talks and sports and games.
“Kingston is proud to be a multicultural community. Our City is home to residents from more than 150 countries who speak over 120 languages,” said Kingston Mayor Georgina Oxley. “Cultural Diversity Week is a great opportunity for everyone to learn a little bit more about each other’s traditions, culture and customs – and provides plenty of opportunities to try delicious food at the same time.”
