About this event

After the very successful Diwali Mela Lantern Festival celebration in 2023, QPRC and the Queanbeyan Multicultural Centre have once again teamed up to create a bigger and better Diwali celebration for the whole Queanbeyan community in 2024!

The evening will be full of cultural performances from different communities that celebrate Diwali, along with an array of delicious food options and lots of singing, dancing and of course lights.

A fantastic addition to this year’s celebration is SBS joining in as media partners and they will be attending the event with activities and giveaways along with a media team to capture all the action at the event.
