The carnival will be held in Naracoorte on Saturday 5 November and, as in past years, will use sport to celebrate a diverse and harmonious Australia by bringing together people from different cultural backgrounds from the Limestone Coast and possibly further afield.

The carnival will communicate the message of shared values – respect, equality and freedom.

The Australian Migrant Resource Centre and Naracoorte United Soccer Club are coordinating the event this year, with support from a number of other partners including Naracoorte Lucindale Council, the Limestone Coast Multicultural Network, STTARS (Survivors of Torture and Trauma Assistance and Rehabilitation Service), Teys Australia, Football South Australia, Ottoson Partners Real Estate, MiniJumbuk and Naracoorte Freight Centre.

The one-day event will be held at the Naracoorte and District Sports Centre with 7-aside, 1/2 field round robin soccer competitions for men's, women's, U13 boys and U13 girls teams as well as a free MiniRoos come-and-try clinic for younger soccer enthusiasts led by Football SA coaches.
