Assistant Minister for Foreign Affairs and Member for Gellibrand, Tim Watts, recently joined the Point Cook Royals to celebrate Holi, the Festival of Colours. The event featured traditional Indian music, dance and South Indian delicacies.
Holi, a major Hindu festival, symbolises the arrival of spring and the victory of good over evil. Celebrated globally, it brings together people from various backgrounds to enjoy music, dance, and the playful throwing of coloured powders.
In Melbourne, Holi has become increasingly popular, with numerous events across the city. The Melbourne CBD Holi Festival is scheduled for 15 and 16 March 2025 at Tom’s Block, Linlithgow Avenue, offering live music, dance performances, and traditional cuisine. Similarly, the Holi Festival Melbourne at Ron Barassi Snr Park on 29 and 30 March 2025 provides free entry to a two-day celebration of colours, cultural performances, and culinary delights.
Watts’ participation with the Point Cook Royals highlights the importance of community involvement and cultural appreciation. Point Cook, recognised as Australia’s most multicultural suburb, frequently showcases its diversity through various festivals and events.
The Point Cook Royals, a local community group, have been instrumental in organising events that celebrate cultural diversity. Their Holi event brought together residents to share in the festivities. Attendees enjoyed traditional South Indian dishes such as dosa, vada, and idli, accompanied by classic Bollywood songs and dance performances. These elements provided entertainment and offered insight into Indian cultural traditions.
