CIACA Diwali Dhamaka 2026 at the beautiful JW Marriott Gold Coast was a spectacular celebration of India’s rich cultural heritage, bringing our community together through the magic of music, dance and tradition.
From vibrant Indian cultural dances and the glamour of our Bollywood Vogue fashion walk, to the infectious energy of our talented young performers, the evening showcased the richness of Indian culture across generations and every stage of life.
We were also honoured to welcome Assistant Minister for Multicultural Affairs and International Student Attraction Hermann Vorster, who addressed the community and joined us in celebrating the importance of culture, connection and community spirit.
Diwali Dhamaka was more than an event, it was a beautiful reflection of CIACA’s vision of bringing people together, celebrating our diversity and building bridges between Indian and Australian cultures.
A heartfelt thank you to our performers, volunteers, sponsors, supporters and everyone who contributed to making this evening so memorable.
Together, we celebrate our heritage, embrace our diversity and shine brighter as one community.
