The Greater Springfield Indian Association (GSIA) will hold its annual Greater Springfield Dandiya Night on Saturday, 29 August, with organisers expecting their largest turnout yet after more than 5,000 people attended last year’s event.
The free community celebration will take place from 4pm at Robelle Domain Parklands in Springfield Central, bringing together families and visitors for an evening of traditional Dandiya and Garba dancing, cultural performances, food, music and community activities.
The event has become one of the largest Indian cultural gatherings in Queensland, attracting people from across Greater Springfield, Brisbane and surrounding regions.
Organisers have planned a full programme featuring live DJ entertainment, food stalls, shopping and cultural displays, family activities and stage performances celebrating Indian culture.
The association said this year’s celebration aims to build on the strong attendance recorded in 2025. “This year promises to be our biggest event yet. Last year, we welcomed more than 5,000 attendees, and we are expecting an even larger crowd in 2026.”
The event will be held at Robelle Domain Parklands, 155 Southern Cross Circuit, Springfield Central, Queensland, with free entry for all attendees.
Alongside traditional Dandiya and Garba dancing, visitors can expect cultural performances, shopping stalls, family entertainment and a range of food vendors throughout the evening.
GSIA said community support remains central to the event’s success.

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.
