What an unforgettable day on Saturday! Art in the Park 2025 welcomed 15,000+ people to Campbell Park on Saturday and it was a vibrant celebration of creativity, culture, and community spirit. Thank you for celebrating with us!
Timed to coincide with UN International Refugee Week, this year’s theme of "Belonging" was brought to life through a powerful mix of performances, workshops and artistic collaborations, all shining a light on the rich cultural contributions of refugee communities and the strength found in unity.
We’re so grateful to all the performers, artists, vendors, volunteers and guests who brought the festival to life.
The theme of #Belonging truly shone through every moment.
Speaking after the event, Anouar Kassim MBE, Director of MKIAC, said:
“Art in the Park is about joy, visibility, and celebrating the power of shared experience. Seeing so many people come together from so many backgrounds to celebrate belonging, heritage and creativity was incredibly moving. We’re proud to offer this space for reflection, expression and connection, especially at a time when it matters more than ever.”
