Penrith City Council is inviting the community to Culture Fusion, a fun free multicultural event on Saturday 22 March 2025, to celebrate Harmony Week.
Join us to experience the best beats, bites and performances from all over the world from 10am to 3pm at Lang Park, St Marys.
Enjoy delicious food with cuisines from Italy to Asia, the Netherlands to Mexico and everything in between. Immerse yourself in the traditions of other cultures with our engaging workshops, or shop at the artisan market stalls to find unique treasures.
Attendees will be transported around the globe with our exciting stage performances featuring traditional dances, music and entertainment for the whole family.
Penrith Mayor Todd Carney said everyone is invited to enjoy a fun-filled, colourful event in honour of Harmony Week, an important national celebration of our cultural diversity.
"We're excited to be hosting Culture Fusion for the second year in a row to once again bring people together and foster a sense of inclusiveness, respect and belonging that we hope will be lived by everyone, every day," Cr Carney said.
"Our vibrant Penrith community is home to people from over 110 countries who speak more than 80 languages and is underpinned by 60,000 years of First Nations Aboriginal cultural heritage. Our shared values of respect, equality and freedom go beyond our different cultures and are what makes Penrith such a great place to live," Cr Carney said.
Culture Fusion will take place at Lang Park located at 9 Carinya Avenue, St Marys.
Harmony Week will be celebrated nationally from 17-23 March 2025.
