The Neighbourhood Centre served as the hub for last week's activities, which were formally acknowledged at a morning tea last Friday in conjunction with Bathurst Regional Council.
The morning tea was attended by 40 people, with around 16 cultural groups represented, and featured a Greer Films-produced film highlighting the people from a variety of cultural backgrounds who call Bathurst home.
"There was also a photo exhibition highlighting Bathurst's many cultural groups, and attendees were invited to sample tastes from around the globe," The Neighbourhood Centre service manager Therese Short said.
"It was a very successful event, and was a wonderful opportunity to recognise Bathurst's vibrant multicultural community.
"Harmony Week never fails to fill minority cultural groups with confidence that they're welcomed and appreciated throughout the community."
Local Wiradyuri man Jordan Boney performed the Welcome to Country, and council was represented at the event by deputy mayor Ben Fry.
