Wyndham DurgaUtsav is set to return this September, bringing thousands together at the Werribee Indoor Sports Centre for three days of celebration, prayer, and performance.
Presented by INDClub and supported by Wyndham City Council, the event will run from 26 to 28 September 2025, featuring traditional puja and aarti, a cultural extravaganza, food stalls, a kids’ play zone, and a wide range of apparel and handicraft stalls.
The festival has grown steadily over the past decade. What started in 2014 with around 700 people has evolved into one of Melbourne’s largest Durga Puja gatherings, drawing more than 5,000 attendees from across Victoria and interstate. From its early days at Eagle Stadium and Williamstown Town Hall, the event now anchors itself firmly in Werribee, reflecting both tradition and the multicultural character of the west.
Organisers say the occasion has become more than a local celebration, serving as a meeting point for diverse communities. Artists and performers from Chinese, Vietnamese, Sri Lankan, and other backgrounds have joined in recent years, adding their voices and rhythms to the celebrations. The sights and sounds are familiar to anyone who has experienced Kolkata’s Durga Puja, from the beats of the dhaak to the aromas of traditional Bengali cuisine.
Support for the event comes from community partners, business sponsors, and government bodies, including the Victorian Multicultural Commission and local councils. Together, they have helped the festival grow into what organisers describe as a cultural institution, offering a space to share heritage and connect across backgrounds.
With a line-up of pujas, performances, food, and family activities, the organisers say this year’s edition will be their biggest yet. Tickets are available now, with booking details shared across the event’s channels.
