Mareeba Multicultural Festival Workshop Application

The Mareeba Multicultural Festival Advisory Committee is calling for individuals and organisations to register their interest in providing an interactive workshop in 2025.

Whether it is a workshop highlighting your traditional artform, basket weaving, painting, cooking demonstrations - we want to hear from you.

Workshops will be held in the Mareeba Sports Hall (next to the Festival at Arnold Park) as this will provide shade and facilities like power and toilets.

We have a limited budget of a maximum of $2,000 per workshop, so please keep this in mind when you apply. Facilitators are responsible for supplying all materials needed for their workshop and be able to run their workshop independently. Workshops must be free for attendees / participants and be in line with the Multicultural theme of the Festival - Celebrating Cultural Harmony.

Application forms must be received by no later than Friday, 18 July 2025.
