The Festival of Cultures will be returning for its ninth consecutive year to light up the main streets of Whanganui with colour and culture.
The festival is seeking ethnic food stalls, live performances and entertainment to fill Majestic Square on October 19.
Mainstreet Whanganui events, marketing and promotions manager Kelly
Scarrow said it was a real community effort to pull it all together and make it unique.
"The Festival of Cultures is a chance for people of all cultures, backgrounds, ages and interests to come together in the heart of our beautiful city, to share food, conversation, engage with one another all whilst having a good time," she said.
So far one of the headlining acts includes the IPU New Zealand Kodama Japanese Drum Team.
