Out & About: Multicultural Festival

Pollard Park was alive with colour at the weekend as Marlburians celebrated the diversity of culture in the region.

Hundreds of people tasted, heard and danced to a multitude of different cultures that now call Marlborough home.

Organised by the Marlborough Multicultural Centre, the Saturday festival was the culmination of months of hard work by volunteers.

In a post online, organisers thanked everybody who helped make the festival possible.

“A huge army of people went above and beyond to help us share a little bit of  all the wonderful cultures and communities who call Marlborough home and we feel thankful to you all.”
