Melton mayor Steve Abboushi said that the night market is a fantastic way to celebrate the municipality’s diversity.

“Immersing ourselves in other cultures and traditions is the best way to learn and build respect for one another,” Cr Abboushi said.

“Mark your calendars and join us in celebrating the shared joy of diversity through food, music, and culture.”

An Oceania theme will cap off the night markets on Friday, April 4, with Polynesian dancing including the Haka and Hula, and more amazing cuisines to try.
