India Day to celebrate Indian Independence Day on 15th August, 2015 in
Parramatta was a huge success with more than 10,000 people attending it
throughout the day. This was a family event, which everyone enjoyed with food,
fun, culture and kids’ rides culminating in a spectacular firework display, which lit
the sky of Parramatta.
Federation of Indian Associations of New South Wales (FIAN) hosted this event
with the support of Parramatta Council and businesses like Value World Travel,
Western Union, State Bank of India, Air India, Multiconnexions, Telstra, Slim TV,
SRK real estate, Bank of Baroda, and many others including media, especially
Vikram Sharma from Voice of India-Monika Geet Mala and Arti Banga from
Desi.com.au.
