Greater Shepparton City Council is seeking interest from local Aboriginal and multicultural groups to be part of this year’s Converge on the Goulburn Festival.
Council’s Acting Director Sustainable Development Greg McKenzie encouraged local groups to get involved.
“This is a great opportunity for groups to showcase their traditional food, activities or performances,” Mr McKenzie said.
Converge on the Goulburn brings together food, culture and performance from Shepparton’s Aboriginal and multicultural communities.
If you are interested in being a part of Greater Shepparton’s own cultural event or would like more information please contact Bonnie McIntosh via bonnie.mcintosh@shepparton.vic.gov.au or 5832 9700
