TLC Festival 2011

The Sixth Toowoomba Languages and Cultures (TLC) Festival will be held on 14 August Sunday 2011.

An annual celebration of the diversity in our community and showcase of talents and colour from across the world!

The vision of the Toowoomba Languages and Cultures (TLC) Festival is a festival that celebrates the diversity of languages and cultures that exist within the Toowoomba region. The festival has included participants from Cambooya, Crows Nest, Oakey and Cecil Plains.

Our aim is to bring together different organisations within the Toowoomba region to support and encourage a sense of belonging and community harmony in our area. The TLC Festival is an opportunity for families to have a fun day out that offers something for everyone. There are performances from schools, professional artists and community groups, static displays of cultural interest and information from major service providers and certainly lots of food and delectable treats, activities for the young and young at heart and competitions.

Held in the beautiful Queens Park on the cusp of the Central Business District in Toowoomba, the festival brings colour and excitement to the city over a weekend in August.

Entry fees: Adults by gold coin & children free.

The Toowoomba Languages and Cultures Festival:

• provides an entertaining, drug and alcohol free family day out;
• provides opportunities to try new foods and activities;
• creates a sense of belonging to a diverse and interesting community; and
• gives our community a chance to showcase their cultural, culinary and linguistic heritage.

The organising committee for the Toowoomba Language and Cultures Festival (TLC) is a partnership between TRC, Toowoomba International Multicultural Society Inc. (TIMS), Modern Language Teachers Association Queensland, Mercy Family Services, Lifeline Darling Downs & SW QLD and cultural community groups.
