It’s one of the most colourful and cheerful events of the year in Murray Bridge, and it’s on again this Saturday: the All Culture Fest.

Murray Bridge Town Hall will be filled with singers, dancers and other performers for a celebration of the people from all around the world who call the rural city home, Vanuatuan and Filipino, Chinese, Nigerian, and Ngarrindjeri.

A few new locals will end the afternoon by becoming Australian citizens, with an afternoon tea to follow.

The event, hosted by the Murray Bridge council and Murraylands Migrant Resource Centre, should be a fitting end to Refugee Week – and it will be free, too.
