What a fantastic event celebrating the Coast’s cultural diversity. It is important that we as a community recognise and appreciate the positive contribution from people of all different cultural backgrounds.

FESTURI encourages the participation of the whole community in celebrating and valuing others. The event helps strengthen partnerships by bringing together school, community, business and government organisations in appreciation of cultural diversity, encouragement, understanding and tolerance and fostering mutual respect.

You will be guaranteed a good time with terrific food, music, entertainment and great people who make our communities what they are.

I would like to congratulate everyone who has dedicated their time and hard work to allow this successful event to continue.

Mayor Bob Abbot
