Unley in Harmony

Harmony Week is a national celebration to promote diversity and acceptance of other cultures. Harmony Week has been a popular and prominent event on our cultural calendar.

City of Unley is committed to working in partnership with our ever-growing multicultural community. Across the Council we have worked closely with our multicultural communities and organisations to celebrate and discuss our cultural diversity. Our aim has always to maintain our traditions and continue to try to improve our cultural richness and resilience.

We have held performances, exhibitions, art installations, author talks, forums, dinners, guest speakers, debates, living books and interviews. We have invited school students to performances and interactive discussions with Reconciliation SA and ActNow Theatre to break down anti-racist behaviour and develop positive messages and action.

2026

This year, our Unley in Harmony program includes a series of events and activities which stretches from Harmony Week (16 - 22 March) all the way to the Festival of Rice on 9 May. Let’s celebrate our many diverse cultures.

With something for all ages, including the school holidays, there will be free events and activities led by cultural representatives with backgrounds from around the globe including our local Indigenous groups. Hosted in libraries, community centres, other local facilities and even on the streets, enjoy performances and workshops and learn and appreciate something new! Meet some of the cultural groups who will be represented in our new event, Festival of Rice.

Check out this page for new events as we add them.
