Need help with your application?
We’ve got you covered. Applying to be part of the 2026 National Multicultural Festival — whether as a performer or stallholder — should be exciting, not overwhelming. That’s why we’ve created a range of support options to help guide you through the process. Whether you're new to the festival or a returning participant, we're here to help you bring your culture, creativity, and community spirit to life.
Information sessions
Need help with your application? Join one of our upcoming in-person group information sessions to get expert guidance on how to apply, explore grant funding options, and ask questions directly to the festival team.
Can’t make it to a group session? You can also book a one-on-one online meeting with the festival team. These are available every Monday and Thursday, from 14 July to 18 August 2025.
Please register in advance, and if you’re able to attend in person, we’d love to see you there!
