More than just a festival, Converge on the Goulburn brings together food, culture and performances from Greater Shepparton’s Aboriginal and multicultural communities in celebrating the richness of our community and it’s on again!
Converge on the Goulburn is taking place on Saturday 17 March and you’re invited to come on down to be part of the festivities. The Festival is now in its sixth year; Converge on the Goulburn is a colourful cultural celebration with nonstop music, movement, colour, art and tasty authentic foods from all corners of the globe.
Participate in interactive cultural workshops and activities or relax in the outdoor dining area while enjoying flavoursome zesty cuisine cooked by local communities, this is not to be missed.
Greater Shepparton City Council’s Mayor Kim O’Keeffe encourages everyone to come along to celebrate the diversity of our community.
