The event was started by Clutha District Settlement Support (CDSS) in 2014 as a pot luck get-together for the growing number of migrants to the South.
It soon outgrew its origins to become an opportunity for all to celebrate Clutha’s melting pot.
This year’s event was held for the first time at TPŌMA in Balclutha.
It welcomed several hundred locals with their families and friends to sample international cuisine, and learn more about their neighbours’ cultural dress and traditions.
CDSS chairwoman Ella Broekhuizen said a friendly welcome was enjoyed by all.
"Inclusiveness and respect were abundantly evident at the feast.
"The new venue of TPŌMA proved to be most suitable for the event, with ample room for the many food stalls selling tempting cuisine from several of the cultures now present in South Otago."
Visitors were treated to food from countries around the world, including the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Italy, Samoa, India, Malaysia and Fiji.
"A display of traditional costumes from a selection of countries present demonstrated the diversity and vibrancy of our locals.
"There were also musicians, dancers, and taekwondo performers."
She said Rodd Pearce and Kirstin Chittock emceed the evening, and guests were welcomed by Clutha District Mayor Bryan Cadogan.
Mrs Broekhuizen said the cultural feast illustrated the values and goals of CDSS, in helping new migrants integrate into the area.
