AUSTRALIA has a long and proud tradition of multiculturalism and nowhere is that more evident than the City of Logan and the electorate of Woodridge where there are many entertaining cultural events each year.
Woodridge MP Cameron Dick said 27per cent of people living in Logan were born overseas.
“Logan is one of the most multicultural cities in Australia, and we are the richer for it,” Mr Dick said.
“Each community brings its own unique culture, which is celebrated through a plethora of local festivals and cultural events. Multiculturalism is the greatest strength of our Logan community when it comes to entertainment options.”
Mr Dick said local festivals included Waitangi Day, Bridging Cultures event, Burundian Community of Queensland Cultural Festival, Cambodian New Year, Samoan Independence Day festival, Walk Together Logan, Hungarian Festival, Chin National Day, Burmafest, Into Global Rhythms and Thingyan – Burmese Buddhist New Year festival.
He said the different events offered local entertainment and promoted harmony and understanding.
