During Cultural Diversity Week we mark the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination on 21 March. Wearing an orange ribbon is a personal pledge not to commit, condone or remain silent about any form of racial or religious discrimination. Show your commitment to promoting a more harmonious society, free of racism and based on respect for all Victorians.

Viva Victoria is proudly brought to you by the Victorian Government. The festival is an opportunity for people of all walks of life to come together to experience new cultures and to celebrate community harmony. Victoria is one of the most culturally diverse states in Australia and is recognised as being one of the world’s great multicultural societies.
