Our latest event - Diwali in Sandringham - 17th November 2024
Sandringham Reserve Shines Bright for Diwali
Our Diwali celebration at Sandringham Reserve was a vibrant and memorable event, drawing an incredible turnout from our local community.
The day featured live music by the talented Daniel Kiran and his band, captivating dance performances, and even interactive Bollywood dance sessions that had everyone on their feet. Families enjoyed creating festive masterpieces with Diwali-themed arts and crafts, courtesy of The ReCreators, while exploring beautiful market stalls and indulging in delicious treats from Hobson Indian Takeaway.
The reserve was transformed into a dazzling space, adorned with brightly colored marigold garlands strung across the trees. Dancers in their traditional attire added a touch of elegance and energy to the festivities, creating a truly magical atmosphere.
It was a heartwarming celebration of culture and community, bringing us all together to share in the joy of Diwali. Thank you to everyone who made the event such a success and a huge thank you to Albert Eden Local Board for their generous funding, without which this event would not have been possible.
