Riverlights Online will be a six-part web series that will celebrate cultural diversity with the sharing of stories through performances of international and indigenous dance, music, fashion, language and food, that anyone can enjoy from the comfort of their home.

The six part series will premiere every day at 3pm from Monday, October 5 with a finale closing out the series at 3pm on Saturday, October 10.

Riverlights Online can be viewed on the Riverlights Online Facebook event, The Levee Facebook page, MyMaitland Instagram and Riverlights website.

"Riverlights is one of the most vibrant events on the City's calendar as it celebrates the vast cultural diversity that exists in the Hunter," Mayor Loretta Baker said.

"Although we are sad that we can't celebrate in the usual format, we are so excited to be able to bring Riverlights to life for you to enjoy at home."

With the assistance of Slow Food Hunter Valley, Riverlights Online will feature cooking demonstrations of traditional cultural dishes from Vietnam to South Sudan to South Korea and across the world.

"Each year Riverlights celebrates diversity, and makes us one," Amorelle Dempster from Slow Food Hunter Valley said.. "It has been a pleasure to be able to come together and work with the Riverlights team as well as the community groups to create something special during this challenging year."

Riverlights Online will feature Indigenous Australian, Russian, Flamenco, Capoeira Aruanda, Greek, Indian, South American and Scottish music and dance performances as well as storytelling, poetry reading and language lessons from Tamil Sangam and Esperanto Federation of NSW.

This online event has been made possible due to the great and continued support of Greater Bank, 2NURFM and the community groups.

In recent years Riverlights has attracted crowds of about 8000 to The Levee with nearly 30 cultures represented.
