Wyndham’s Pakistani community came together on Saturday August 19 to celebrate Pakistan Cultural Day.
Jointly organised by the Pakistan Australia Association Melbourne and Sohni Dharti Inc, the event was held at the Point Cook Pop Up Park and featured Pakistani food, music, dance and dress.
“There was a celebratory vibe across the pop up park as most attendees were dressed in cultural clothes of Pakistan,” said one of the event organisers, Benish Chaudhry.
“The father- daughter duo Rehan and Natasha’s singing was thoroughly enjoyed by the audience and so were the young acoustic band. Face painting and henna attracted a lot of children,” Ms Chaudhry said.
Wyndham mayor Susan McIntyre was in attendance, along with deputy mayor
Jennie Barrera and councillors Jasmine Hill and Robert Szatkowski.
Wyndham is home to more than 4400 Pakistanis, one of the largest migrant cohorts in the municipality.
