Everyone Belongs: Celebrate Harmony Week

Harmony Week is a national celebration honouring the rich cultural diversity that shapes Australia and our Northern Beaches community. It brings people together through shared values of inclusiveness, respect and belonging

Here on the Northern Beaches, we value the many cultures, languages, traditions and stories that make our area vibrant. Harmony Week is a reminder that when we embrace our differences, we build a stronger and more connected community.

Why It Matters

Australia is recognised as one of the world’s most successful multicultural nations, and Harmony Week encourages us to celebrate this and continue nurturing an inclusive community. 

Ways to Be Part of Harmony Week

Stay tuned for upcoming Harmony Week event. You can join the celebration in many ways:

  • Wear orange as a symbol of social harmony
  • Explore cultural stories, traditions or recipes from our diverse community
  • Attend other Council or community events happening across the Northern Beaches via our events calendar
