Celebrate Diwali with us!
Join us for a vibrant evening of light, culture, and celebration at this year’s Diwali Festival.
Diwali is a time to come together, honouring the triumph of light over darkness and the power of unity. Expect a colourful night filled with live entertainment, music, dancing, and plenty to explore.
There’ll be something for everyone, from free face painting and henna to a photo booth and bustling market stalls.
Keeping the energy high throughout the night is DJ and MC Richi Madan, bringing over 30 years of experience and his signature dhol drumming to the stage.
Don’t miss dazzling performances by Chandralaya School of Dance, Bindaas Bollywood, Rhythmic Feet, Sindhu Bhairavi - Centre for Indian Arts and Culture and Ignite Bollywood. And if you’re nearby before the event begins, look out for the lively Dholi drumming procession along Glen Huntly Road!
Come hungry, local food stalls will be serving up a delicious mix of Nepalese, Indian, and Australian-Indian fusion dishes.
Best of all, the event is free, family-friendly, and no bookings are needed. Just bring your loved ones, your dancing shoes, and your festive spirit!
