The Wyndham Multicultural Lunar Festival is back for 2025 and will showcase more than 300 performances from no less than a dozen countries across the globe.
The festival is promising to take the Point Cook Town Centre by storm for 10 hours on Saturday, February 9, with non-stop multicultural performances, delectable food, vibrant stalls, and a fireworks show to cap off the night.
Hosted by the Point Cook Cultural Community (PCCC), the free event will celebrate the Chinese New Year and usher in the Year of the Snake which symbolises wisdom, intuition and transformation.
Fixtures of Chinese New Year like dragon and lion dances will be on full display, but the best of the rest of the world will make themselves known through breath-taking dances, songs, instrumental music, magic, acrobatics and martial arts.
Chinese lantern making and other craft activities will allow guests to get hands on, while the variety of street foods from across Asia and the world will excite taste buds before filling stomachs.
Using the occasion to reflect on the themes of growth, renewal, and new beginnings, the event will focus on celebrating Wyndham’s cultural diversity.
PCCC artistic director Becky Cui said that “the festival will provide an unparalleled opportunity for our local talented artists to perform in front of a widely enthusiastic audience.”
“Whether you’re bringing your little ones to enjoy the kids’ activities, or coming with friends to enjoy the live performances, there’s something for everyone to enjoy throughout the day,” she said.
Everyone is invited to enjoy the festival between 11am-9pm and encouraged to catch the fireworks display that will illuminate the night sky.
