The Diwali Festival was in full swing in Berwick, as the Stockland Minta estate hosted an event that garnered more than 350 residents who joined the festivities on 25 October.
Known for its dazzling lights and cultural richness, Diwali is a five-day festival celebrated around the world with the goal of bringing together communities in a celebration of light triumphing over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance.
The local celebration brought the spirit of Diwali to life through festive lights, tunes from a Diwali DJ, belly dancers, dhol drummers and of course, food trucks serving traditional dishes.
The event culminated in a bright and lovely performance from Bollywood dancers as a symbol of victory over darkness, but also as the finale of an event that fostered a strong sense of friendship, camaraderie and togetherness in the local community.
