ONE of the biggest multicultural festival that happens in Greater Shepparton returns to take place during the opening weekend of the new look Shepparton Festival which is celebrating its 25th year this winter.
Cultural diversity will be on show for Converge on the Goulburn on Saturday, June 12, a free family event at the new location of the Shepparton Showgrounds from 8.00am to 4.00pm.
Converge is more than just a festival, it brings together food, culture and performances from Greater Shepparton’s Aboriginal and multicultural communities in celebrating the richness of our community.
“Council and the Shepparton Festival have a long-standing relationship and it is exciting to see the Converge festival be part of the opening weekend once again,” Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Cr O’Keeffe said.
“The entire community is invited to come down to the Showgrounds and take part in the festivities, it’s the perfect way for you and your family to learn more about and experience the values, rituals and traditions of the many cultures that call Greater Shepparton home.”
