FUSION 16 Multicultural Street Festival
The City of Wagga Wagga’s spectacular Civic Centre Precinct burst into life with sights, sounds and tastes from around the world at FUSION 16 Multicultural Street Festival on Saturday 15 October, 2016
The festival is built on the simple philosophy that food and the creative and performing arts are a joyous means of engaging and
uniting the whole community. Each year this annual celebration of cultural diversity, community harmony and the arts continues to grow in terms of size and scope reflecting the city’s diverse and vibrant community.
The Multicultural Council facilitated 27 people to complete the Safe Food Handling Course from various cultural backgrounds, Afghan, Burmese, South Sudan, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, South East India, Singaporean Malay and the Philippines. The participants were then supported to hold food stalls at the festival.
