Letters of Support

Each year, AMCF is honoured to receive letters of support from esteemed dignitaries who recognise the festival’s cultural and social impact.

Messages from the Prime Minister of Australia, Premier of Victoria, Lord Mayor of Melbourne and other leaders affirm the importance of AMCF in fostering unity, celebrating African heritage and enriching Victoria’s multicultural landscape.

We are proud to be acknowledged by those at the highest levels of government and grateful for their ongoing encouragement.
