A record number of multicultural events are set to receive funding in 2021 after a disappointing year that cancelled most celebrations.
Among the popular Mackay events to share in more than $1.5 million for next year is Global Grooves and Jayco Mackay Italian Street Party.
The funding under the State Governmentâs Celebrating Multicultural Queensland Program is aimed at furthering inclusion, harmony and unity.
Mackay MP Julieanne Gilbert said the community would be brought closer together through the events.
âWe are enriched by people with backgrounds from right across the globe, contributing to make this a wonderful place to live,â Mrs Gilbert said.
