Afghan Culture Exhibited at the 2019 Canberra Multicultural Festival
On Saturday the 16thof February, the Embassy of Afghanistan hosted a stall at the National Multicultural Festival, with the assistance of the Embassy staff, families and Afghan community members from Sydney and Canberra. This was the second consecutive year the Embassy held a stall, and it showed to have grown in popularity.
The samples of dry fruits and saffron tea were very popular, with over 5000 visitors coming to try them, and many of these visitors left messages for Afghanistan on the interactive canvas. The event was also successful for children, who were able to collect Afghanistan flag stickers and try different types of dry fruits. There were displays of tradition clothing, jewellery and traditional instruments courtesy of Afghan community members, whom the Embassy thanks for their assistance and participation.
Thank you to all those who visited the stall and learnt something about Afghan or reconnected with fellow Afghans, and to all who contributed to the event. The Embassy looks forward to returning to the Multicultural Festival next year.
