Overview

Queanbeyan–Palerang Regional Council (QPRC) recognises the importance of cultural diversity and inclusivity within its community
and Diwali is celebrated as part of this commitment.

This year's Diwali Mela Lantern Festival will be the third year that QPRC has committed to this event.

The festival provides an opportunity for people of different backgrounds to come together, share in the festivities, and appreciate that rich cultural heritage. Additionally, the values of light, hope, and goodwill associated with Diwali resonate universally, encouraging positive community relationships and promoting harmony in a diverse society.

Join them for market stalls, food vans, live performance, children's activities including lantern making and spectacular finish with fireworks.
