Lynbrook locals recently enjoyed a most colourful weekend.
The Lynbrook Residents Association (LRA) hosted its annual Festival of Colours on Saturday 18 March.
LRA president Scott Watson says the event has been a tradition for the past decade.
“There is a very strong Indian community within Lynbrook and the event has been extremely popular for years,” he said.
The event complements Holi, a popular and significant Hindu festival celebrating the eternal and divine love of the god Radha and Krishna.
Mr Watson said over 1500 people attended the event.
“The colours area this year featured a water area, [attendees] enjoyed a performance by the Bollydazzlers while the kids enjoyed an inflatable slide,” he said.
There were multiple food options, face painting and market stalls on the day.
“The event is a colourful celebration of the Indian tradition with spontaneous dancing breaking out to the DJ’s music.
“It is amazing to see that the event brings the entire community together with many cultures enjoying the day with family and friends.”
