Maribyrnong River Appreciation Day

This event celebrates the diverse cultures, traditions, and lived experiences of multicultural communities, mainstream Australians, and First Nations peoples in Melbourne’s west. It brings together women, families, carers, and local residents—particularly those who may be experiencing isolation or social pressure—to connect through shared cultural expression and community participation. A key focus is the inclusion of multicultural women and families supported by TSWN, including victim-survivors of family violence, who are provided with a safe and welcoming space to reconnect, heal, and celebrate their identities. Through activities such as cultural performances, arts and crafts, storytelling, and shared food experiences, participants are invited to express and exchange traditions that reflect their heritage and everyday lives.
