Presented by the Australian Burundian community in Victoria in partnership with Multicultural Arts Victoria, this inaugural event will be a spectacular celebration of Burundian independence day as Melbourne's Burundian community put their talents and culture on show.

Come and experience traditional songs, dances and food from Burundi and be blown away by the sound of the ingoma - the powerful and distinctive traditional Burundian drums.
