The first ever AFL Multicultural Festival celebrating ‘Many Cultures, One Game’ will be held outside Gate 3 at the MCG in Yarra Park at the Collingwood v Carlton game on Saturday 8 August, thanks to the support of the Victorian government.
The festival will run from 11.30am - 5.30pm and will include loads of free and fun activities for the entire family.
Explore many wonderful cultures with traditional dance performances from around the world, a great selection of delicious multicultural food or see the kids to practice their goal kicking at the Woolworths AFL playground – there will be something for everyone.
AFL footballers, team mascots, face painting, henna tattoos and plenty of giveaways are just some of the highlights to feature.
The festival will also host a range of live entertainment including Pop Asia, Hip Hop dance, African drummers, Bollywood and many others.
A big screen will broadcast the Collingwood v Carlton match live and there will also be an opportunity for fans to have their photos taken with this year's premiership cup.
