Council is inviting the community to come together in celebration of Cultural Diversity Week at a special evening event on Monday 23 March at the Shepparton Library.
In Summary
This year’s event will bring the 2026 theme, Culture connects us all, to life by highlighting the many ways culture shapes who we are and how we connect with one another. The evening will feature live cultural performances, traditional foods, and a diverse line‑up of guest speakers who will share their lived experiences and perspectives.
Attendees will also be invited to take part in the discussion, exploring how Greater Shepparton can continue to strengthen intercultural understanding, respect and belonging. The event aims to create space for community voices, ideas and stories, recognising that every culture contributes to a more connected and supportive society.
Cultural Diversity Week is an annual celebration held in March to honour the power, influence and stories of Victoria’s multicultural communities. The 2026 theme emphasises how sharing intercultural experiences fosters deeper understanding, connection and unity.
Mayor, Councillor Shane Sali, said Cultural Diversity Week is an opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the many cultures that call Greater Shepparton home.
“Our region is one of the most culturally diverse in Victoria, and that is something we are incredibly proud of. Cultural Diversity Week gives us a chance to recognise the contributions of our multicultural communities and celebrate the many traditions, languages and histories that enrich our city,” he said.
Council encourages people of all cultures, ages, abilities, identities and community groups to attend and share in building a more connected and inclusive Greater Shepparton.
