The Sabrini AIII Diwali Mela 2014, to be held on Sunday, 19 October, at the Sandown Racecourse, promises to be a spectacular performance. This is the 13th year of the multicultural AIII Diwali Fair and the highlight of 2014 will be the presence of popular TV chef Chef Harpal Singh. Chef Harpal Singh is being brought in by Sabrini, platinum sponsors of the Sabrini AIII Diwali Fair 2014. Those attending the Fair can participate in the ‘Meet& Greet’ with him at the fair.
Silver sponsors Western Union propose to have a simulation-type cricket marquee and will also have an Indian dance and singing competition which they successfully ran in Sydney last year. Prizes will also be given to those participating in the dance and singing competition.
Like with each year, the Fair will have a big variety of stalls under cover, food and numerous other stalls, safe family environment, henna and tattoo stalls, kids rides, multicultural programs and a grand fireworks finale. It’s going to be an entertaining family event not to be missed.
Parking and ATM facilities are available, and there will be security and first aid arrangements. This is an alcohol-free event.
Sandown Racecourse is at 591-659 Princess Highway, Springvale. Melway Reference – 80/C-9. The Fair will begin at 11.30 am and go on till 9.30 pm.
The event is also supported by the Victorian Multicultural Commission (VMC).
Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.

Thank you for your support.
