Nowruz Cultural Festival 2026 – “A vibrant celebration of culture, diversity, and new beginnings.”
Welcome spring with joy, music, food, and community. Together we celebrate tradition and together we belong.
On Sunday, March 29, 2026, thousands gathered at Dandenong Park for the Nowruz Cultural Festival, proudly supported by Independent Ability Care in partnership with the Victorian Afghan Associations Network (VAAN).
Families and friends came together for an unforgettable day of music, cultural performances, delicious food, and meaningful connection. Children laughed, elders smiled, and the spirit of Nowruz filled the air—celebrating heritage, hope, and the beautiful diversity of Victoria’s multicultural community.
Independent Ability Care was honoured to help create an event where everyone, regardless of background or ability, could feel welcome, included, and celebrated.
