African-Australians young and old are invited to share in African culture at the African Cultural Day and Award Ceremony.
To be held from 1pm on Easter Monday at Cranbourne West Community Hub, the event will celebrate African heritage as performers from across the south-east take to the stage with entertainment and music.
There will also be games for children, with the event touted as fun for all ages.
Bass MP Jordan Crugnale will make a speech on behalf of the Minister for Multicultural Affairs.
Peter Aguto, founder, chairperson and CEO of Multicultural Youth Support Services (MYSS), which is hosting the event, said the event would identify and reward creativity, with awards given to performers on the day.
It’s the first event for MYSS, but already Mr Aguto and the team are planning to run it every year.
“The purpose is to bring the community together, to socialise and build their network,” he said.
The event is free but registration is essential.
