Wollongong City Council's much-loved celebration of our city's diversity will return in September 2025, following today's announcement that Culture Mix has been awarded a $250,000 funding grant under the NSW Government's Stronger Together Local Council Major Festival program.
The one-day event had previously been held in the Wollongong City Centre in October 2024 and 2023. It had been a huge success attracting more than 16,000 people last year, and involving a wide range of multicultural community groups and organisations in its planning and delivery.
"I'm absolutely thrilled that the NSW Government has seen the value of this wonderful community event and provided a funding grant that will allow us to deliver this celebration again in 2025,'' Lord Mayor of Wollongong Councillor Tania Brown said.
"Anyone who was involved or attended Culture Mix in the past two years would know just how colourful, fun and joyous this event is. It's terrific that we'll be able to do it again.
