This Free one-day outdoor event in Dharawal country will celebrate Wollongong’s diverse community with vibrant music, dance, workshops, installations, and food from around the world.
You'll be able to taste test a South American Asado, enjoy free creative workshops, support a local Aboriginal artist by purchasing something unique, learn K-Pop dance moves or join a community street parade with a giant Ogah Ogah (monster) and Gamelan Orchestra. All this and more will be possible at Wollongong’s Culture Mix.
With three stages, nine zones and over 100 things to see and do on the day, there is something for everyone.
Culture Mix is a free and inclusive event, open to people from all backgrounds, ages and abilities.

Now in its second year, Culture Mix is produced by Wollongong City Council and made possible thanks to a two-year grant from the NSW Government.
