Harmony Day
is celebrated on the 21st of March.
Australia’s
cultural diversity is formally recognized and promoted on this day. Harmony day is about inclusiveness, respect
and a sense of belonging for everyone.
It is a day for all Australians to embrace cultural diversity and to
share what we have in common. The
central message for Harmony Day is that ‘everyone belongs’, reinforcing the
importance of inclusiveness to all Australians.
Our cultural diversity is one of our greatest
strengths and is at the heart of who we are. Multicultural Australia is an
integral part of our nation’s history and character.
Since 1999, more than 65 000 Harmony Day events and activities have been celebrated across Australia, from the smallest childcare centers to the largest businesses. What event

Trade Shop we have stocks from all over the world to promote and encourage
diversity within our local communities which can extend out to the greater
world.
