Mambourin Marketplace will host a Holi Festival of Colours celebration on Saturday 7 March from 3pm to 8pm, offering an afternoon of performances and family activities inspired by the Hindu festival.
The event, scheduled for 19 February 2026, invites visitors to “Celebrate the joy, colour, and energy of Holi, the Festival of Colours, at Mambourin Marketplace!” Organisers describe it as “This vibrant cultural celebration brings together music, dance, interactive activities and family-friendly fun, creating the perfect afternoon for participation, photos, and lasting memories.”
Festivities will begin at 3pm with Holi-themed face painting hosted by Choice Pharmacy, running until 5pm. Children will be able to take part in colourful designs suited to the occasion.
From 4pm to 5pm, slime making workshops will be held in the main mall, giving young attendees a hands-on activity where they can create and take home their own creations.
Music and dance performances will feature throughout the evening. A Bollywood DJ will perform from 5pm to 8pm. Between 5pm and 6pm, a dhol player will present three 10-minute sets showcasing traditional Indian drum rhythms.
Dance performances will take place between 6pm and 7pm, with female Bollywood dancers delivering two five-minute feature sets, followed by two five-minute Bhangra dance sets.
Visual elements form a central part of the programme. Coloured bubbles will fill the air between 6pm and 7pm. From 6pm to 8pm, colour cannons will release Holi powder across the space as part of the celebration.
The evening will close with silk twirling performances between 7pm and 8pm, presented in three six-minute sets.
Organisers encourage the community to attend, stating: “Immerse yourself in the high-energy performances and colourful activities designed to entertain all ages. Don’t forget your camera, this is a celebration you’ll want to capture!”
The event is free and open to the public at Mambourin Marketplace.

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.
