Harmony Festival held annually in March
Festival of Lights held annually in November
The aims of the Association are:
Respectfully acknowledge the Yamaji people of the Midwest as traditional owners of this region
Promote cultural and linguistic diversity (CaLD) within the community
Promote social and recreational activities for association members within the wider community
Provide assistance in developing social support networks for newly-arrived and local families within the Midwest community
The ESL classes are held at the Queen Elizabeth II Seniors & Community Centre, Durlacher St on Friday afternoons during school terms by qualified volunteer teachers.
The Festivals are cultural events to showcase multicultural music and entertainment accompanied by culinary and artistic experiences from around the world.
The Midwest Multicultural Association (MWMA) helps to promote and celebrate cultural exchange and understanding between Australians and other cultures. It provides assistance in developing social support networks and promotes social and recreational activities for members and migrants living in Geraldton and the Midwest Region.
