Cultural Festival 2003
Cultural Festival 2003 includes more Christchurch primary schools than ever before in its programme of events at the Christchurch Town Hall from 25-29 August. Now in its 22nd year, the festival is corefunded by the City Council. The multicultural festival this year features traditional and contemporary performances by more than 2000 children from more than 45 primary and intermediate schools in the region. To cope with demand the organisers have added another day and a seventh public concert. The festival is an opportunity to see a vibrant celebration of Aotearoa's
many cultures. This yearfs theme is Learning from our past, reaching for our future (I ako mai muri, E ako mai mua). "The festival's all about participation, not competition," says Event Manager
Ali Nauman. "It's exciting to see the festival gain momentumand know that so
many children, families
and communities will benefit from being involved." |
