“It’s been lots of work but we’re grateful for the support from many volunteers, and businesses who have helped us,” she said.
Run with the support of funding from the Victorian Government through the Multicultural Festivals and Events Program, the festival was designed to support culturally and linguistically diverse people, people with a disability and First Nations people.
