CCTCA chairman Paul Weir said organisers had been planning the event since December.
“Cockburn is pretty multicultural, so we wanted to do something that reflected that,” he said.
“We want people to come down and see what is on offer.
“It will be a real family-friendly event.”
Mr Weir, who also owns Cockburn Central’s Castlerock Music Academy, said organisers were expecting more than 500 people to attend.
He hoped it would be the start of even better things to come.
“We’re looking at it as an ongoing event that gets bigger and bigger each year; to the point where we have to move to a bigger venue,” he said.
“We want 50 food trucks and acts playing all day.
“We want to make the event massive.”
