Festival of colour returns

Brimbank is set to come alive with colour, music, and community spirit as the much-loved Holi Festival returns for its third consecutive year.

Women of Brimbank (WOB) founder and president Poonam Singh said the Hindu festival symbolises unity, renewal and the triumph of good over evil.

“It’s a time when people come together to forget differences, build friendships and celebrate life in all its vibrant colours,” she said.

Locals attending can look forward to an exciting program featuring cultural performances, including traditional music and dance, a variety of delicious food options, and the joyful experience of playing Holi with free, eco-friendly colours provided on the day.

“Most of the colours are provided free so that everybody can afford to come and enjoy,” Ms Singh said.

She said the event, which reflects Brimbank’s strong multicultural values, is open to everyone, regardless of cultural background, age, or faith.

The festival, presented by WOB and Brimbank council, will run from 11am-3pm on Sunday 8 March at Cyril Clements Reserve, 35 Kings Road, Kings Park.
