Narellan Cultural Fusion 2026: Free Multicultural Festival in Camden

Narellan Cultural Fusion 2026 will bring a free multicultural festival to Camden on Saturday 10 October, from 4pm to 9pm. Camden Council and Multicultural NSW say the one-off event at Elyard Reserve and the Narellan Library forecourt will combine cultural performances, food from around the world, creative workshops, family activities and local business stalls.

For international residents and families in south-west Sydney, it is the kind of event that makes it easier to discover the area, meet people and experience several cultures in one place without paying an entry fee.

What will be at Cultural Fusion?

Camden Council says the festival will feature cultural performances, global food stalls, interactive creative workshops, activities for all ages and local business activations. The event is designed around the growing cultural diversity of the Camden area rather than a single nationality or tradition.

The full running order has not yet been published, so it is worth checking the council page again closer to 10 October if you want to plan around particular performances or workshops.

Why this event is useful for newcomers

Large city festivals can be entertaining without always making it easy to connect with the local community. Cultural Fusion has a more local focus. It is being held in a public community space, is free to attend and is explicitly built around Camden’s different cultural communities.

That makes it especially relevant for people who have recently moved to the area, international families looking for an easy weekend activity, or residents who want to learn more about the communities living around them.

Is Narellan Cultural Fusion family-friendly?

Yes. Both Camden Council and Multicultural NSW describe the event as family-friendly, with activities and entertainment intended for different ages. The council is also running a Cultural Fusion creative art competition for primary-school children in the Camden local government area, with winning work due to be displayed at the festival.

What happens if it rains?

Camden Council says wet-weather updates will be posted through its Facebook page. Because the event uses Elyard Reserve as well as the library forecourt, check for a weather update before travelling if conditions are poor on the day.

Do you need to book?

The official event listings describe Cultural Fusion as a free community festival and do not currently state that general admission requires advance booking. The council’s page is the best source for any change to entry arrangements before the event.
