Quest Canberra

2008 National Multicultural Festival

The National Multicultural Festival includes several massive free events in the city centre, plus very affordable events by the lakes and right across town in community centres, clubs and galleries throughout the fortnight.

There’s also a suite of well-priced shows at Canberra’s main theatres, also in the city centre: Canberra Theatre Centre’s three theatres (Civic Square, London Circuit) and The Street Theatre’s two theatres (Childers Street).

Every evening drop by the Fringe Festival in Civic Square for a cool drink and a line-up of free music, dance, theatre and comedy. It’s on every night from 8 to 16 February. There’s a bar on site.

Lunchtime showcases in Garema Place also offer a range of free entertainment every day.

The weekends will bring a sea of people to the city centre. Thousands descend on City Walk on Saturday, February 9 to sample around 190 stalls at the Food and Dance Spectacular—followed by a big night at Fringe Festival, into the wee hours.
