The crew at Wyndham Holi is inviting the community to join in another colourful event on Saturday 28 February.
The free event will grace Presidents Park in Wyndham Vale with music, dance rides and activities for all ages.
Founded by Vinayak Kolape 12 years ago, the organisation not only celebrates diversity but also aims to strengthen the community, foster business growth, and enhance the area’s reputation as a vibrant and welcoming destination.
Truly a multicultural festivity, the event is open to everyone, with no rituals to follow, just pure fun for all backgrounds.
When it first started, 1500 people attended. Now drawing about 20,000 attendees each year, Wyndham Holi brings people from all backgrounds together in one massive celebration of joy, colour and community.
A renowned event, it was awarded the state government’s meritorious service award for excellence in multicultural affairs in 2019.
Mr Kolape said the beauty of Wyndham Holi is how once the colours start coming out, everyone is equal.
“Once you put a colour on someone’s face, we all look the same– you don’t have to worry about your financial background, your ethnicity or the language you speak.”
More than 60 people volunteer to bring the whole event together.
Festivities will run from 1-9pm and it is an alcohol-free event.
The day ends in a fantastic firework display, so there is pretty good reason to stick around.
