Hindmarsh Shire Council Harmony Day Celebrations 2025

Published on 07 March 2025

Hindmarsh Shire Council extends an invitation to all members of the community to join in the celebrations for Harmony Day 2025 at the Nhill Memorial Community Centre on Thursday 20 March 2025 from 6:00pm.

This year’s Harmony Day will feature guest speakers who will talk about their journey to Hindmarsh Shire, an array of cultures, arts, dances and music followed by light refreshments.

Harmony Day is celebrated annually in March and has an ongoing theme of “Everyone Belongs.” On Harmony Day, we recognise and celebrate our diversity and the cultures that enrich our community and make it an amazing place to live. Harmony Day is also an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the value of community participation, diversity, inclusiveness, respect and belonging.

In addition, Cultural Diversity Week will be celebrated from Monday 17 – Sunday 23 March 2025 with Council releasing a series of videos of people from the Hindmarsh community talking about their journey to Hindmarsh and their vision for the future within the community.

These videos will be available for viewing on the Hindmarsh Shire Council Facebook page (www.facebook.com/hindmarshshirecouncil).

Hindmarsh Shire Council Mayor, Cr Ron Ismay said, “On Harmony Day, we celebrate the strength that comes from unity and diversity in our rural communities. In our close-knit towns, everyone plays a vital role in creating a welcoming, inclusive environment where all are valued, and on this day, we reaffirm our commitment to fostering harmony for everyone, no matter where they come from."
