Ways to participate in the National Multicultural Festival
Join us Friday 5 to Sunday 7 February 2027 for the National Multicultural Festival — a celebration of the rich cultural diversity that makes Canberra so vibrant, made possible by the incredible contributions of our community.
Whether you're a performer, stallholder, volunteer, or community organisation, there are many ways to be part of the magic.
Stallholders
Share your culture through food, products, and information and connect with thousands of visitors as part of the festival marketplace.
Performers
Showcase your culture by performing on stage, leading a workshop, hosting a cooking demo, joining the parade, or creating a cultural showcase.
Volunteers
Be part of the team that brings the festival to life! Volunteering is a fun way to meet people, gain experience, and support a celebration of cultural diversity.
Sponsors
Support one of Canberra’s most loved events and align your brand with culture and inclusion — with great exposure and real impact.
