The festival will be held on Sunday 28 May and Multicultural Portfolio Councillor Michael Hagan said it would yet again highlight the array of cultural backgrounds that reside in the Lockyer.
The Lockyer Valley is home to people from many different backgrounds and the aim of the festival is to showcase the different cultures we have in the Lockyer Valley.
It gives people the opportunity to participate in an activity that comes from these culturally diverse backgrounds. The aim is to share, celebrate, participate and connect, he said.
