National Multicultural Festival 2023

The National Multicultural Festival took place in Canberra from 17 to 19 February 2023.

This iconic event, which started in the 1980s, is the largest celebration of cultural diversity in Australia, with over 170 nationalities attending the Festival.

The Italian Embassy participated with a stand in Bunda Street on Saturday 18 February from 10am to 4pm.

At our stand we offered to:

  • Discover the Italian beauties and attractions thanks to our VR (Virtual Reality) sessions.
  • Have fun with our games and test your knowledge of Italian culture, traditions and celebrities.
  • Ask about your future trip to Italy (perhaps during the Ryder Cup in September?).
  • Visit the corner dedicated to Alessandro Manzoni, with famous scenes from the film ‘I Promessi Sposi’ taken from the novel, on the occasion of the writer’s 150th anniversary.

‘Piazza Italia’, the stand located in City Walk, sold authentic Italian food and drinks for the entire duration of the Festival.

At the Multicultural Festival it was also possible to witness the incredible performance of the wonderful Italian flag wavers.

We sincerely thank these professionals from San Gemini, Umbria who came back to share this beautiful Italian tradition with us.

 

Thank you to all participants and visitors to our stand!
