Colouring South Morang’s Whittlesea Civic Centre on Sunday, February 23 will be the ninth annual colour carnival, to celebrate the community of Whittlesea.
Vibrant in character and in colour, the community-led carnival will host lively performances, dances from local schools, a wide variety of food and engaging activities.
Organiser Nishta Goel said that the celebration is open to everyone, of any age or cultural background.
The carnival is used to celebrate the festival of Holi, commemorating the beginning of Spring in India. Characterised by colour, dancing and fun, the festival symbolises love, new life and the triumph of good over evil.
“The festival is a true reflection of the City of Whittlesea’s cultural diversity” Ms Goel said.
Ms Goel said the carnival will continue to grow and create lasting memories and that continues to bring people, schools and performers back annually.
“The Whittlesea Colour Carnival has become a community favourite because it brings people from all walks of life together to celebrate in the most joyous way—playing with colour,” Ms Goel said.
The event is free.
