Orange City Council Community Services Policy Committee Chair Cr Mel McDonell encouraged everyone to come along with friends and family, to celebrate Orange's diversity.
"Harmony Day brings people from all cultures and communities together in a celebration of inclusiveness, respect and belonging for everyone," Cr McDonell said.
"It is a wonderful opportunity to share our cultural heritage, learn about others and take pride in in our multicultural society. In light of recent global events, coming together as a community is more important than ever."
