World of Cultures 2025

World of Cultures, held at the iconic Kingston Butter Factory on the traditional lands of Yagara and Yugambeh, celebrates Logan’s multicultural heritage through vibrant art, live cultural performances, music, dance, and cuisine from around the world.

It’s SSI’s flagship Queensland event designed to celebrate Logan City’s diversity. With family-friendly activities and music that will transport you to other continents, the festival is a truly atmospheric cultural experience like no other, in the heart of one of Australia’s most multicultural cities.

Proudly part of Queensland Multicultural Month.

This vibrant one-day family-friendly and free event is a well-loved staple of the multicultural calendar in Logan and beyond. Communities come together from various cultural backgrounds to share their traditions, art, music, food, and more.

World of Cultures showcases the work of culturally and linguistically diverse local communities, businesses, artists and performers, demonstrating the unique heritage and contemporary expressions of different cultures that call Logan home.

Ultimately, this is a celebration of connections, kinships and the welcoming, multicultural history of Logan; an event that encourages people to celebrate the creative contributions diverse communities bring to Australia
