Celebrate Hari Raya at Prahran Square

Hari Raya marks the day following Ramadan, the holy month during which Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset. The term is widely used across countries with cultural ties to Indonesia, such as Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Timor Leste, and Thailand.

Perwira Inc. and the City of Stonnington are proud to host a free cultural festival celebrating Hari Raya. This event aims to bring communities together in the Melbourne Metropolitan area, fostering stronger connections and understanding among people from diverse backgrounds.

Prahran Square serves as an ideal location for this festival, situated in the Stonnington municipality, home to a vibrant mix of cultures and communities. Join us to celebrate and build meaningful connections with others during this special time.
