Oakgrove Community Centre takes part in vibrant event

Oakgrove Community Centre in Narre Warren hosted a colourful kaleidoscope event over the weekend.

The event aimed to celebrate culture, creativity and community spirit, offering visitors with multicultural stalls; each represented the rich diversity within the community.

According to Anu Ravindernath, project coordinator for the centre, the event facilitated an array of activities and proved to be a “wonderful success”.

“Guests enjoyed browsing handmade crafts, sampling delicious cultural dishes, and discovering unique traditions from around the world,” Anu said.

“It was a warm and lively reminder of the beauty of cultural exchange.

“The atmosphere was further energised by a series of engaging performances, with talented artists bringing the stage to life through music, dance, and cultural showcases that captivated audiences throughout the day.”

The event also included a range of activities for those of different ages and abilities.

“Families were spoiled for choice with an impressive range of children’s activities,” Anu said.

“Young ones bounced with joy on the jumping castle, experienced the thrill of pony rides, and took on the adventurous scavenger hunt.

“The crowd favourite, reptile show, drew both kids and adults eager to learn more about fascinating creatures up close.

“And with even more surprises sprinkled across the venue, there was never a dull moment.”
