Now’s the time to apply for a grant for your multicultural community organisation to participate in the 2026 Multicultural Festival.

Multicultural community organisations are invited to apply for grants to take part in South Australia’s 2026 Multicultural Festival. We’re especially excited to hear from groups who have never participated before, and we’re also looking forward to seeing what our regular participants will bring to the festival this year.
Receiving a Multicultural Festival grant is the only way for organisations to be involved in the festival, which will bring Victoria Square/Tarntanyangga to life on Sunday 1 November with music, dance, food, art, craft and family friendly activities.
The festival is one of the state’s biggest celebrations of cultural diversity and we’re looking forward to showcasing a wide range of cultures in 2026.
Organisations can apply for a grant to perform, run a stall or host an activity, with first time applicants strongly encouraged to get involved.
Participating is a chance to share cultural traditions, connect with other communities and meet people from across South Australia.
Grant applications close at 11pm on Sunday 17 May 2026.
