The festival parade is one of the many highlights each year at the National Multicultural Festival.
It features music and dance performances, cultural dress from across the world, and is a chance for our multicultural communities to shine together.
The parade kicks off at 4 pm out the front of Canberra Museum and Gallery on London Circuit, heading down London Circuit and turning onto Akuna Street before ending in Glebe Park.
