More than 300 residents flocked to the Highlands Lake Park in Craigieburn to celebrate Eid Al-Fitr, the Islamic festival marking the end of Ramadan.

Held within Stockland Highlands, the event brought the community together with food, face-painting, and live entertainment.

Stockland development director James Hawker hailed the event as a success and said he looks forward to continuing to host events for the community.

“As a leading creator and curator of connected communities, we are building on our legacy, creating places and spaces full of energy, soul and life for our diverse communities,” he said.

“We know community events are important to our residents, and events like this celebrate the diversity in our local community.

“Alongside celebrating Eid Al-Fitr with residents, we’ve also hosted a number of other events at Highlands including Christmas, Diwali, and Easter.”
