Point Cook will host one of Melbourne’s largest Holi celebrations in March, with Holi in West 2026 bringing colour, music and community spirit to Parkwood Terrace.
Jointly presented by Bongosathi and Jashn Foundation, the event will take place on Saturday, 7 March 2026, from 11am to 6pm at Parkwood Terrace Playground, Point Cook VIC 3030. The organisers describe it as a free, family-friendly gathering open to people from all backgrounds.
“Holi in West 2026” has been positioned as a celebration of the Festival of Colours, an occasion traditionally linked to the arrival of spring and ideas of unity, harmony and happiness. The day will feature colour play, multicultural performances, DJ-led dance sessions, workshops, fashion shows and a range of children’s activities. Market and food stalls will also be part of the program, offering a mix of cuisines and handmade goods.
Free colours and free entry will be available throughout the day, with organisers encouraging families and friends to attend together. The event aims to turn Point Cook into a shared space of colour and celebration, reflecting the area’s cultural diversity and strong community ties.
The celebration is scheduled to run across the full day, creating space for both structured performances and informal participation. Organisers have emphasised accessibility, with no entry fee and activities designed for all age groups.
Holi in West 2026 will be held at Parkwood Terrace, Point Cook VIC 3030, on Saturday, 7 March 2026, from 11am to 6pm.

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.
