Living in a global village means living in a world rich with culture, tradition, and culinary delights. Auckland is one such global village, which is now home to various cultures and ethnicities from around the world.
For the past 18 years, Auckland has been celebrating this diversity at the Auckland International Cultural Festival, and this year’s festival will be held on April 2 at the Mt Roskill War Memorial Park.
Auckland Council is inviting expressions of interest from cultural performers, musicians, sports people, communities, and foodies to celebrate the cultural diversity at the festival. The submissions close on Friday, February 3, at 5 p.m.
Albert-Eden-Roskill Councillor Cathy Casey is enthusiastic about the well-established event:
“The Auckland region is made up of a myriad of international communities. As a woman born in Scotland and now a New Zealand citizen, [I feel that] this festival is a marvellous opportunity for all cultures to come together to celebrate what makes us unique in our shared hometown. The sights, sounds, games, and flavours that make up this spectacular free family event, is a highlight on the Auckland Council events calendar.”
Last year, 50 nationalities were represented at the festival and more than 100 food stalls provided festival goers with a global experience.
