EXPERIENCE the rich culture of Albania through traditional music, dance and food at the 27th Shepparton Albanian Harvest Festival, Sunday, March 29, at the Queen’s Gardens, from 11am to 5pm.
One of the largest community-run events in Greater Shepparton, celebrating food, family, music and fun, the festival showcases Albanian culture unlike any other event in Australia. The event was developed so the Albanian community could celebrate its culture and help Albanian families in the area keep in touch.
Now it is a celebration of everything Albanian, with a fruit and vegetable market that offers wholesale prices, most of which is grown locally in the Goulburn Valley. The Harvest Festival features traditional Albanian food available for purchase.
This year’s Traditional Albanian Dance displays will feature the Melbourne Eagle Folk Dance group alongside local dancers. There is also plenty of entertainment for the family with a kids zone.
Bring the family and immerse yourself in the best of Shepparton’s Albanian community. The festival is free entry, with a suggested gold coin donation. For more information, visit http://sheppartonalbaniansociety.org/.
