 Dylan WIGHT (Tarneit) (15:10): It is festival season. Over the past weekend I had the pleasure of attending the Diwali celebrations hosted separately by both the Western United Football Club and the Brothers & Sisters Foundation Inc. These were wonderful events filled with lights, laughter and of course good company. Diwali, as many of us know, is all about celebrating light and new beginnings. It was fantastic to see everyone coming together to enjoy the festivities. Our community of Tarneit is incredibly vibrant and diverse, and it is events like these that really showcase that diversity. It is wonderful to see people from all walks of life sharing in the excitement of a festival, especially one as joyful as Diwali. Multicultural celebrations like Diwali are a big part of what makes Victoria, especially Tarneit, such a special place to live. These events not only add colour and excitement to our lives but also bring us together, showcasing the rich cultural heritage that each community brings to our shared home. I know there is lots of celebrating still to do, so I wish you all a happy Diwali. I hope you have had a wonderful time with your friends and family. It is always amazing to attend these fantastic events in Tarneit, and I have got a few more Diwalis to go yet.
