On 10 November, from 4:30pm to 8pm, Booran Reserve in Glen Huntly will become a pulsating hub of lights, rhythm, and tantalising aromas, as it plays host to Glen Eira’s take on the Festival of Lights, Diwali. The event promises to be a family-friendly fiesta that merges the traditional with the contemporary, offering a vivid community experience for all who attend.
What’s on the cards? Let’s kick off with the performances. South Indian Parai drummers are slated to set the festive tempo, their rhythms serving as the energetic heartbeat of the celebrations. They’ll pave the way for a stellar line-up of dance ensembles. With performances from Chandralaya, Bollydazzlers, Ignite Bollywood, and Sindhu Bhairav, the stage will be ablaze with a range of dance styles, each adding its own unique flair to the occasion.
The tunes don’t stop there. DJ/MC Richi Madan, an Australian Bollywood and Bhangra pioneer, will keep the momentum going with invigorating DJ sets designed to make you move. Whether you’re a seasoned Bollywood aficionado or a newcomer to its infectious beats, Richi Madan’s playlist will no doubt uplift your spirits.
But the entertainment isn’t solely confined to the stage. The event also offers a variety of off-stage attractions. Capture your favourite moments at the photobooth, or opt for a more colourful memento courtesy of the free face painting stations. For those interested in more traditional forms of art, skilled henna artists will be on hand to embellish your hands with intricate designs.
Now, let’s talk food. A smorgasbord of culinary delights awaits, thanks to local Glen Eira traders. Whether you’ve got a craving for Nepalese delicacies, classic Indian dishes, or intriguing Australian-Indian fusion cuisine, there’s something here to tickle every taste bud.
The best part? This extravaganza comes at zero cost. That’s right, the event is completely free to attend, no bookings required. Just gather your family and friends and come down to Booran Reserve on 10th November.
So there you have it. Glen Eira is the place to be for a Diwali celebration that promises a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity, community spirit and individual expression. Don’t miss your chance to be part of an evening that promises good vibes, great food, and fantastic entertainment for all ages.
