Vedanta Centre, the intercultural faith and community centre in Springfield Lakes, today announces that it will hold ‘One and All Harmony Day Festival’ on Saturday 18 March from 10am to 2pm.

The Harmony Day Festival which will feature live music, artisan stalls, cultural performances, cooking demos and free workshops, is expected to be a popular event with families and market goers.
Visitors can expect to be immersed, intrigued, delighted and moved by the sounds, smells, sights and soul of this festival.
The aim of the festival is to celebrate the wonderful diversity of cultures and traditions that enrich our communities.
Highlights of this free event are performances by music duo Mundy-Turner who have toured the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Italy & Hong Kong with their original folk music and quirky humour.
Spectators will also be treated to the rare voices of Pauline Maudy and Paddy McHugh.

Children can have plenty of fun in the interactive kids-tent or join in one of the free workshops taking place in the hall. Workshops to look out for are Sandhya Parappukkaran, renown children’s author, and Tsoof Baras hand drumming and novelty percussion.
Meanwhile the car park will come alive with market stalls showcasing artisan wares, ceramics, prints, homewares, jewellery, fashion, crystals, candles, gifts and more.
Visitors will be able to support local businesses while enjoying roving performances and delicious eats from Maa Sarada’s Kitchen Café run by volunteers of the Centre.
The One and All Harmony Day Festival at Vedanta Centre Springfield Lakes will coincide with national Harmony Week.
This is an occasion to come together as One in a spirit of unity.
The motto of Harmony Day is ‘Everyone Belongs’ which reminds us to accept everyone regardless of their background or circumstances.

What better place to celebrate Harmony Day than the Vedanta Centre with its ideals of unity and oneness.
