Dunedin Multicultural Society president Andrew Rudolph said the day was the United Nations Race Relations Day and to mark the occasion, they bought together different cultures and communities from around the world to celebrate at the museum.

‘‘We need to come together to ensure that the beauty we have of days like this is continuous.’’

He said they hosted multiple dance groups and there had been singing.

‘‘It’s really an opportunity just for us to mark the day, to celebrate it, to bring people together.’’

The theme this year was to ‘‘understand and listen’’.
