South West Multicultural Festival Saturday, 20 February 2021
Since 2007 the Bunbury Multicultural Group held the highly successful, annual Multicultural Night Under the Stars which grew exponentially and by 2015 was attracting up to 3500 people. Over the last 14 years this event has evolved into the South West Multicultural Festival which now draws in excess of 5000 people. The Festival is free to the public and celebrates multiculturalism in the South West while contributing to the region through it's culturally diverse communities.
The Festival's program consists of demonstrations. performances, market stalls, interactive workshops, as well as food and information stalls, all culminating into an evening of dance and music that represents the south west multicultural community.
If you would like to be a part of this event by performing, volunteering or holding a stall or workshop please contact the Festival Coordinator : Jo O'Dea on 0417 097 538 or on events@joodea.com.au
STALL HOLDERS STALLS It is now time to register your interest in holding a stall at the 2021 Festival. To do so please note the following before completing the online form below. This is a multicultural event and stalls should promote/display/sell items that represent a culture, or country. In 2021 due to social distancing regulations around COVID-19, we have developed a new site plan, with no stalls around the stage. Our objective is to create a Food Hall space with lots of shade and seating options, to encourage good trade in a safe environment. The committee work hard to curate a good range of stalls with minimal overlap of styles, to ensure a fair and equitable day of trade and celebration. In the unlikely event that this events needs to be cancelled due to a pandemic, the South West Multicultural Festival will refund you 80% of your total fee. The remaining 20% will be retained to cover the incurred costs of the event. This is due to insurance NOT covering a pandemic, and we appreciate your understanding in this matter.
