Libraries ACT invites festival‑goers to step back in time with National Multicultural Festival: The Early Years (1981–1987), a photography exhibition curated by the ACT Heritage Library. Through vibrant archival images, audiences can explore the festival’s beginnings, meet the communities who shaped it, and see how its spirit of celebration and inclusivity grew over time. It’s a nostalgic, eye‑opening look at Canberra’s multicultural story.
