To mark Harmony Week 2025 (17 to 23 March), the City is hosting a number of events that celebrate the diverse cultures, stories and traditions that make up our vibrant community.
Harmony Week recognises our diversity and brings together Australians from all different backgrounds; it’s about inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging for everyone.
A free outdoor movie night,
Harmony Under the Stars, on Saturday 22 March will be perfect for the whole family.
It’s taking place at the Subi Night Markets in Market Square Park and will include entertainment such as a lion dance performance, henna art, Aboriginal face painting, games, prizes and more – all before the sunsets and the movie starts.
Pack a picnic, bring a mat or low chairs and enjoy some free popcorn or purchase dinner from one of the delicious food trucks at the markets.
Join us for a
community talk by the Red Cross at The Third Place, where we’ll explore the topic of forced migration and international displacement. This session will cover:
- The differences between asylum seekers and refugees
- The Red Cross' role in supporting migration
- The global context of forced displacement and human rights
- Australia’s role in humanitarian settlement
- How we can better support the experiences of new arrivals
The talk is free and is at 6pm on Monday 17 March at 6pm – book your spot today
