| Viva Victoria is a truly inclusive and celebratory event featuring music, dance, food, art, craft and design from more than 60 cultures that have enriched our community. Highlights include two stages of outstanding music from around the world, a vibrant marketplace of quality handmade products and an exceptional selection of authentic traditional foods, roving performers, a public art installation piece, a market bazaar on the steps of Federation Square, plus exciting activities for the kids.
But best of all, Viva Victoria gives all Victorians a chance to celebrate Cultural Diversity Week, as well as the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racism (held each year on 21 March) by learning more about other cultures while enjoying a day out on the banks of the Yarra at Fed Square.
