The entree will be served before and during the opening ceremony and lunch will be served after the parade.
FESTIVAL PARADE
The parade, led by the V.I.P.s, starts after the Opening
Ceremony and proceeds through the event site, returning
to the V.I.P. Tent.
FABA is working with Victoria Police and Maribyrnong Council to
organise a filmed, live concert for youth in Madden Square (this
event is subject to confirmation)
The kiddies will be catered for by two areas, one for older
children and teenagers and the other for the toddlers (2-6 years).
Safe su-pervision for the young ones while the parents party!
And as always, our biggest attraction, a host of chances to taste
multicultural delights, from the popular to the tantalisingly exotic,
with carnival games to win prizes and have fun.
Over the years, FABA has become by far the largest
business organisation in Footscray, with the vast majority
of traders of Far Eastern origin in Footscray being
members. We are an integral part of Footscray and a
key driver of development, growth and change.
However, FABA not only represents the interests of
business people. As community leaders, and with our
very close involvement with the Vietnamese Community
Association of Australia and other community groups,
we help to represent the interests of cultural groups and
community organisations as well.
Approximately 1/3 of the 65,000 people in Maribyrnong were
born in the Far East or are the children of parents from there.
Footscray also attracts large numbers of customers and visitors
from all cultural background who come to shop, to eat, and to join
in our rich cultural life.
FABA is committed to building partnerships and we are actively
involved with:
- and a whole host of other community organisations, service
providers and NGOs.
