The Children’s Festival is a significant multicultural event in Australia.
It is unique in its celebration of cultural diversity with a spectacular day-long program of entertainment presented by over 30 groups from different cultural backgrounds. Thousands of children and their families participate in the day’s activities.
Under the motto “Play Together and Live in Harmony”, the Children’s Festival is a day for everyone but especially for children to get together in a multicultural environment to have fun, join in creative activities and share those new experiences with each other.
The year, 2018, marks the 20th Anniversary of our organisation and we are anxiously looking forward to even greater success at this year’s events. Following our successful Children’s Festival in Sydney on the 8th of April and Campbelltown on the 5th of August, our 20th Children’s Festival in the City of Canterbury-Bankstown will be held on Sunday 16th of September at Paul Keating Park, Bankstown from 11 am to 6 pm.
We would like to invite your school/group to participate in this spectacular event, in particular to join in the Children’s Parade at 2pm and/or to perform on stage.

If you are interested in running a stall, please refer to the “Expression of Interest - Stalls”.
