An evening of fireworks and lights, the Australian Multicultural Association (AMA) will host its Diwali celebrations in Melton on 27 October. The family fun day is supported by the Melton City Council, and other community groups, and many events are being planned to entertain the 3000 plus crowd that is expected to attend.
AMA is a not for profit formed a view to address the issues affecting various communities in greater Melbourne and beyond.
The event will be held at Hannah Watts Park, Reserve Road, Melton, from noon to 10 pm. The fireworks display is between 9:30pm to 10:15pm, so residents are advised to safeguard pets, children, patients and people under medical conditions.
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.
Please consider making a contribution today.
Thank you for your support.
