Harmony Week 2024 took place last week from March 18 to 24 with events throughout the Mitchell Shire including the Kilmore Community Centre’s cultural celebration on Thursday, March 21.
March 21 is the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and Harmony Day is a government program celebrated annually designed to foster inclusiveness, respect and understand that people of all different cultures make a valuable contribution to society.
Kilmore Community Centre’s event asking the public to bring a dish from their cultural background with a list of ingredients to share.
It also had food passports to purchase some delicious dishes including pork Bahn Mi, spring rolls and Japanese Okonoiyaki.
Local organisations including the Kilmore Bakery, Three Seven Six Four and Kilmore Pizza Shop got involved by providing a dish to share.
There were lots of discussions with new and old friendships formed and strengthened.
The U3A ukulele band also came along and played joyous tunes and their own Kilmore rendition of ‘Take Me Home, Country Roads’ by John Denver.
