On 12 October 2024 I had a fantastic time at the fourth Mazu Parade and Luna Double Ninth Festival held at Freedom Plaza in Cabramatta. This vibrant event showcased the rich cultural heritage of the local community, bringing together people from diverse backgrounds to celebrate. Each year the festival features many captivating dances performed by talented local groups, and this year was no exception. The performances were not only visually stunning but also filled with the energy and spirit of the community. I was particularly impressed by the creativity and dedication of the dancers who brought their traditions to life with colourful costumes and intricate choreography. I extend my heartfelt thanks to Mr Henry Wu and the NSW Indo-China Chinese Association for their kind invitation to this wonderful celebration. Events like the Mazu Parade and Luna Double Ninth Festival are essential for fostering connections and promoting understanding among different cultures in our community. I look forward to attending future celebrations.
