Bollywood dancers will light up Presidents Park next month for Wyndham’s annual Diwali festival.
The festival of lights will be held at the Wyndham Vale park on October 18.
Artistic director Archana Koorthy said the colourful event would feature performances by Bollywood, ballet and classical Indian dancers, as well as jazz, salsa, rock and Bhangra bands and singers from across the western suburbs.
Visitors can sample different cuisines from around the world. The festival will close with a fireworks display.
Ms Koorthy said Diwali was one of India’s most popular festivals. She said the aim of Wyndham Diwali was to promote the message that the “world is one family” by including all cultural groups.
“Wyndham’s cultural diversity is recognised and celebrated as one of the city’s greatest assets, contributing to growth and enriching the life of our community on so many different levels,” Ms Koorthy said.
“This colourful event is intended to be a platform for locals to showcase their incredible talents.
This year’s festival of lights will feature some of India’s leading dancers and musicians who now call Wyndham and surrounding areas their home.”
