Nepal Festival 2025: Celebrating Newa Culture at Federation Square
15 March 2025 | Federation Square, Melbourne
Newa Guthi Victoria proudly participated in the Nepal Festival 2025, joining one of Melbourne’s major celebrations of Nepalese culture and community.
The Newa community brought the vibrant traditions of the Kathmandu Valley to the festival through a lively Ghitang Ghisi rally, live Dhime Baja and Dhime dance. The energetic performances added a unique Newa cultural presence to the celebration and provided an opportunity for the wider community to experience traditional music, dance and cultural expressions.
The participation highlighted the diversity of Nepalese heritage and demonstrated the important role of cultural organisations in preserving and sharing traditions with the broader Australian community.
Members and volunteers of Newa Guthi Victoria came together to support the rally and performances, creating a strong sense of community participation and pride.
