Festival celebrates diversity

The vibrant ‘Be Bold Festival’ is returning to Brimbank this month in a spectacle not to be missed.

Hosted by Brimbank council, the free of charge, all ages event celebrates diversity through a fusion of everything from culinary dishes to music workshops and dance performances by community groups from as far afield as Bosnia and Aotearoa (New Zealand) to Vietnam and Spain, according to Brimbank council.

This year’s highlights include live performances by Polynesian and Bosnian dance groups, food trucks, a silent disco, entertainment for the kids, a youth showcase, art exhibitions, and art and craft and cooking workshops.

There will also be face-painting, painting activities, a food tour and more.

Brimbank mayor Thuy Dang described the family-friendly festival as one that brings the world to Brimbank.

“Brimbank is one of the most culturally diverse cities in Melbourne which is why this festival is so fantastic,” Cr Dang said.

“This festival is a dazzling expression of all that is good and exceptional about the fabric of our community.

“At the heart of it is our ability to welcome people of all cultures and backgrounds from all corners of the globe and celebrate our uniqueness. I encourage everyone to come along, bring the kids and enjoy the food, the fun and activities on offer.”

The ‘Be Bold Festival’ will take place on Saturday, 18 October at the Bowery Theatre and St Albans Community Centre, 33 Princess Street, St Albans, Wurundjeri and surrounding areas from 3-7pm.
