Big Day Out in Harmony
Join Alice Springs Town Council and Multicultural Services of Central Australia to celebrate our diverse community!
Each year, Multicultural Community Services of Central Australia invites all the local multicultural groups and associations to participate in the event and share some of their culture with the wider community. After months of rehearsals, it comes together on a day filled with colours, sounds, fragrances and tastes from across the world.
