Glen Eira’s Diwali Festival is ready to shine again, inviting everyone to celebrate the Festival of Lights in an evening packed with excitement and cultural splendour. Scheduled for Saturday, 2 November, from 4.30pm to 9pm at Booran Reserve in Glen Huntly, the festival promises to be a joyful community gathering that honours Diwali’s spirit of unity, light, and life.

The event is free and family-friendly, making it the perfect outing for people of all ages. No bookings are required, so simply bring your friends, family, and plenty of enthusiasm for a night that will leave you in high spirits. Diwali, celebrated as the triumph of light over darkness, serves as a reminder of the warmth that community and tradition bring into our lives. Glen Eira’s event beautifully captures this sentiment by offering a mix of performances, food, activities, and cultural displays, creating an unforgettable experience for everyone.

Leading the festivities is DJ Richi Madan, a well-known figure in Bollywood and Bhangra music. With over 30 years of experience, Madan’s energy and flair will ensure the evening is filled with lively tunes and infectious rhythms. His Bollywood numbers and live dhol drumming are sure to get the crowd on their feet, dancing well into the evening.

Roving performer Prince Ravi Raja, a crowd favourite, will be wandering the festival grounds, showcasing his juggling skills and engaging tricks to keep everyone entertained.

The festival promises more than lively performances, with plenty of activities to engage families throughout the evening. Visitors can enjoy henna art, where skilled artists create intricate designs, and complimentary face painting for a fun, colourful touch. For those wanting to capture the night’s memories, a photobooth will be available. As you wander through the festival grounds, you’ll find an array of food stalls offering everything from traditional Indian dishes to Nepalese cuisine, and even Australian-Indian fusion.
