The first ever Harmony Week celebrations held in Kingaroy last Saturday have demonstrated just how diverse the local South Burnett community really is!
Coming together on the Kingaroy Town Hall Forecourt were performers from Samoa, Kiribati, Fiji and the Solomon Islands as well as the South Burnett’s own Wakka Wakka dancers.
And don’t forget the Scottish bagpipes and even some traditional Australian folk music.
Costumes – many hand-made by the performers – ranged from grass skirts to multi-coloured dresses featuring every colour from across the rainbow.
Harmony Week is the celebration that aims to recognises the nation’s diversity and bring together Australians from all different backgrounds.
Saturday’s event was designed to promote inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging.
As well as the energetic performances, there were stalls and cultural activities for the many onlookers to explore.
Kingaroy Rotary members had a sausage sizzle and South Burnett CTC offered much-welcome ice slushies.
