Celebrating diversity

Sydney’s favourite multicultural event, New Beginnings Festival fosters an inclusive society that promotes equal opportunities through arts and culture.

SSI’s New Beginnings Festival lights up the Australian National Maritime Museum with a vibrant mix of world-class art, music, and dance performances, celebrating the stories of Australia’s diverse communities. This free, family-friendly festival explores themes of home, identity, and belonging, as experienced through the eyes of Australia's diverse refugee, migrant, multicultural and First Nations communities.

Join us to celebrate the diversity that shapes our shared humanity.
