Mt Atkinson residents brought the spirit of Diwali to life with a local celebration of India’s biggest and most important festival.
Held at the Mt Atkinson Vision Centre Park on Saturday 18 October, the Diwali event featured colour, music, children’s activities, traditional dancers and food trucks.
Diwali, known for its dazzling lights and cultural richness, is a five-day festival celebrated around the world that brings together communities in a celebration of light triumphing over darkness, of good triumphing over evil, and of knowledge triumphing over ignorance.
Stockland development director Jackie Kent said vibrant events like Diwali served as a platform for residents to experience and appreciate different cultural traditions while deepening their connection to their neighbours.
“Stockland Diwali events have quickly become a community favourite and each year we see more and more residents as well as their friends and family joining in the festivities,” Ms Kent said.
“We’re proud to host events like Diwali that bring together the diverse backgrounds within our community. It’s important to us that residents come together, share in each other’s traditions, and celebrate what makes us unique. It helps foster a real sense of community and has a positive impact on all of our residents.”
