THE Casey Winter Arts festival kicked off on Sunday 29 May at the Lynbrook Community centre with a multicultural flare.
Family event Experience Casey celebrated the many different people and cultures that live and work in the City of Casey as well as the first birthday of the new Lynbrook community centre.
Residents from all over were encouraged to attend the celebrations and enjoy the many facets of cultural diversity that were on display.
From performances and food stalls to art activities and short films, the Experience Casey event showcased the varied people that make up the many faces of Casey.
The premier screening of four short films that showcased the many cultures of Casey ties in with the launch of the 2016 Casey Winter Arts Festival.
The Winter Arts Festival will include three months of art events and activities for all residents to get involved in across the Casey area.
The festival will have workshops, shows, exhibitions, music and dance and much more where residents can enjoy the show or get as hands-on as they like.
