Campbelltown City Council will receive $250,000 through the Stronger Together Local Council Major Festival program to celebrate the vibrant cultural diversity of the area while also driving economic growth.
Festivals contribute to the local economy, attracting thousands of visitors who support small businesses, local vendors, and hospitality services.
Campbelltown City Council will showcase their local communities with events that highlight cultural foods, music, and dances, bringing together people from across the region while generating increased business activity for local enterprises.
This is a three-night celebration in addition to the annual FEAST Multicultural event. The event will take place Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoon/nights and each night will be focused on a specific cultural group, with immersive cultural experiences including food stalls, cultural music and dance, arts and crafts, cooking demonstrations.
NSW Minister for Multiculturalism Steve Kamper said:
“These festivals create vibrant spaces where people from all backgrounds can connect, learn, and enjoy the rich traditions that make NSW so special.”
“In addition to their social impact, these events contribute to the economy by boosting tourism, creating jobs, and supporting local businesses.”
Member for Campbelltown Greg Warren said:
“This funding will bring Campbelltown together in a way that strengthens our local community bonds.”
“Across three nights I look forward to seeing our Campbelltown community come together and enjoy all that this wonderful event has to offer.”
