The Gold Coast was illuminated on August 23, as the Luminous Festival returned to the Home of the Arts (HOTA) with an extraordinary evening of light, music, and multicultural celebration.
Families and friends gathered for the community event, which featured live cultural performances by diverse multicultural groups, a wide variety of food stalls, and free lantern-making workshops for children held from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
The highlight of the evening was the Lantern Parade. As the sun set, handmade lanterns lit the path around the HOTA lake, creating a breathtaking display of unity, resilience, and belonging.
Several communities and organizations attended the celebrations. Multicultural Australia was one of them, as they have shared this information on Facebook. Multicultural Australia was represented by CEO Jo Nelson and Chief Development Officer Jason Olsson-Seeto, who joined the celebration that brought together communities across the Gold Coast.
The Luminous Festival once again showcased the strength of cultural diversity and the power of community spirit in Queensland.
