Joining us for the first time for live performances on the main stage are The Strides, Victor Valdes, Latin Cross Roads, Sitar by Ravi, Be Suren, Monochrome K Pop, Polish Folk Ensemble, Ganathipan and the MCC Chinese dancers.

Blak Markets has also partnered with the Council to showcase original and unique items from First Nations artists and craftspeople. Children will also enjoy learning circus skills with our friends at Circus Playground.

Mayor of Waverley, Paula Masselos, said many cultures will be represented at Global Table 2024 alongside our Aboriginal and First Nations people including Ethiopia, Turkey, France, Japan, Italy, Argentina, Spain and Mexico.

“Global Table brings the community together in the heart of our CBD to celebrate Waverley’s diverse culture over a meal or two with friends,” Mayor Masselos said.

“Waverley is a multicultural community where one in five residents speak a language other than English and 40 per cent of residents were born overseas.

“What better way to celebrate and promote understanding and acceptance of our diverse and wonderful community than through the universal language of food and music!”.

Global Table is a free all-ages event and bookings are not required.
