HARMONY FEST 2025: HARMONY IN THE MALL

Harmony in the Mall was recently held at the Bridge Mall during Harmony Fest, bringing Ballarat’s multicultural community groups together to network and share their culture with other residents through performances and food.

Edwina and John were out and about meeting representatives of some of these groups and interviewing them for broadcast.

Clockwise from left, Edwina is seeb interviewing Bishal Dhakal and Dolma Tamang from Ballarat Nepali Samaj, Lateef Adeleye from Ballarat African Association, and City of Ballarat’s Yvon Davis, also a member of the local Dutch community.
