City of Melbourne

On behalf of the City of Melbourne, I invite you to enjoy the colours, harmonies, flavours and aromas of the Buddha's Day and Multicultural Festival.

Melbourne is renowned as a multicultural city that celebrates diversity, and our community thrives on sharing our many cultural traditions and stories. Melbourne's Buddhist communities contribute to the city's cultural life, and we enjoy warm connections with these diverse people in many ways.

By sharing a peaceful view of the world, you help to make the Buddha's Day and Multicultural Festival a much anticipated and well-attended event. The wonderful sense of inclusiveness and ceremony embedded in this festival ensures it is attractive to a broad range of people.

The City of Melbourne is delighted to support the festival at Federation Square, in the heart of our city. I congratulate the organisers for nurturing a rich tradition and I look forward to one of Melbourne's most
popular events.
