Macedon group Victoria Arya Samaj Inc. has received $2000 for Holi Festival 2024, Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas announced late last year.
Arya Samaj Inc. was named as one of the 183 organisations to receive funding to deliver festivals and events throughout Victoria.
Ms Thomas encouraged everyone in the local area to get involved in the festivities.
“What an exciting time to live in Macedon, with our fantastic Holi Festival funded through the Multicultural Festivals and Events program,” she said.
“This event celebrates the cultural diversity that forms part of Macedon and will encourage communities to come together and boost inclusion and social cohesion.”
Forty-seven regional organisations were funded through the Regional Multicultural Festivals and Events Fund and more than 130 through the Multicultural Festivals and Events program.
This latest round of grants will support organisations to host events between January and March this year, with celebrations expected to reach more than 220,000 Victorians.
Outcomes of the applications for events being delivered between April and June 2024 will be announced early in the year.
