Culture galore
A free multi-cultural event put on by the Council’s Riccarton/Wigram and Fendalton/Waimairi Community Boards is proving popular. The Culture Galore! Event, held for a second time earlier this year, drew a crowd of more than 3500 people and featured performances by about 30 cultural groups, including Greek, Russian, Spanish, Taiwanese and Pacific Island cultures with Irish and Korean dance acts also taking centre stage. There was also a tempting array of international food. The event was developed from a recommendation by the Avonhead Recreation and Sport Research which identified the diversity of cultures living in this area of Christchurch. More than 45 local cultural clubs took part in organising and running this year’s event. For more event details, call contact Christchurch City Council Leisure on 941 6840. |
