Celebrating rich diversity and resilient spirit at the Community Fair

The Community Fair event was held on Saturday, June 29, 2024, at the bustling location of 33 Alfred Street, North Melbourne. The event marked the highly anticipated official launch of the North Melbourne Public Housing Residents Association (NMPHRA), an organisation dedicated to advocating for and supporting the residents of North Melbourne's public housing community.


The objective of the Community Fair was to celebrate the rich diversity and resilient spirit of North Melbourne's public housing community. The fair aimed to bring residents together in a joyous atmosphere, fostering a sense of unity and pride among attendees. Through a variety of activities and exhibits, the event highlighted the cultural mosaic that defines the area, showcasing the unique traditions, talents, and stories of its residents.


The fair served as a platform to highlight the essential services provided by local organisations. Various stalls and booths were set up, each representing different community service providers, non-profit organisations, and local businesses.


The event featured an array of engaging activities and entertainment. Children enjoyed face painting, games, and interactive workshops, while adults had the opportunity to attend cultural performances, including music, dance, and storytelling to celebrate the diverse heritage of the community.


Overall, the community fair was a success and the launch of the NMPHRA was warmly welcomed, bringing together residents and stakeholders in a celebration of community spirit, diversity, and mutual support.
