Building on last year's success, which featured over 40 cultures and attracted thousands of visitors, the 2025 event promises to be even more expansive, reflecting the vibrant spirit and multicultural fabric of the community. The Levee will come alive with colour, sound and flavour, transforming into a global village, with event highlights such as live performances, cultural workshops, international cuisine, a community parade, and the spectacular Hunter River lantern flotilla finale on Saturday 11 October.
