THE New England’s largest multicultural festival, Fiesta La Peel, returns to Tamworth on Saturday, October 18 at Bicentennial Park.
Entering its 12th year, Fiesta La Peel continues to grow, and aims to bring people from various cultural backgrounds together, to celebrate, share and learn about Tamworth’s multicultural community.
More than 100 nationalities will be celebrated, including Laotian, Thai, Chinese, Hungarian, Persian, Iranian, Indian, North American, South American, Taiwanese, Australian, Polish, Filipino, Nepalese, Italian, German, Spanish and many more.
Eddie Whitlam, President of Tamworth Multicultural Inc, encourages locals and visitors from across New South Wales to attend.
“As an inclusive celebration, Fiesta La Peel continues to bring people together to taste food, enjoy music and celebrate the many cultures that make up our multicultural community,” Mr Whitlam said.
From 4pm until 8.30pm, Bicentennial Park will transform into a multicultural hub, featuring a various number of music and creative dance acts, and artistic demonstrations. Food and art stalls will also be part of the festival.
Tamworth Regional Council events officer, Crystal Vero, is excited to welcome applicants for the various performances as part of the event.
“We’re looking forward to hosting this event for another year in partnership with Multicultural Tamworth Inc, who are a key driver in helping us celebrate multiculturalism throughout the region,” Ms Vero said.
