About this Event
This major festival commemorates the victory of good over bad. For the Bengali diaspora across the world, it is a symbol of heritage and culture.
We are delighted to announce that we will be organising the Durga Puja 2026 celebration.
Durga Puja, also known as Sharadiya Durga Utsav, is a major festival that commemorates the victory of the goddess Durga over the demon king Mahishasura. For the Bengali diaspora across the world, Durga Puja is a symbol of their identity and heritage, and a beautiful testament to their art, culture, and cuisine.
There will be puja, food, multicultural performances and heaps of activities to keep your kids entertained throughout the day and pass on our tradition to our next generation of champions.
