The AusIndia Fair endeavours to present and promote contemporary India in a holistic way. It would raise not only inclusiveness but also bring awareness and branding of India’s contribution to the broader Australian society.  The AusIndia Fair event will attract a number of stalls and various attractions from the ACT hinterland and surrounding areas. The event will provide interaction and entertainment for all age groups of the Australian society. The event will enable display of traditional arts and culture, food, tourism, spirituality, and glimpses into the traditional health like Ayurveda.  It will present an opportunity to promote businesses representing several sectors such as education sector, IT sector, fashion design, digital media, handicrafts, renewable energy, tourism, etc. Stage programs will continue showcasing India’s diverse and rich heritage through music, poetry, skits, dances etc.

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander group(s) will also be contacted to participate. Special activities for children will be made available such as jumping castle and face-painting.

Given the 2018 AusIndia Fair provided an excellent marketing opportunity for businesses seeking to promote their goods and services, brought all interesting aspects of India on one platform instead of the current piecemeal approach, this event is going to be an excellent opportunity to promote and harness mutual opportunities for India and Australia.

The event will have a stage for performances and addressing the crowd. There will be more than 25 stalls for promoting various states, business information, food and tourism.

FINACT and its member associations is organising a biggest ever Indian event that promotes a holistic India. Indian associations always organise events with a specific purpose to celebrate festivals, such as Diwali, Holi, Ugadi or participating at other cultural events. This proposed event is to showcase India and its unique opportunities so that wider Australians will better understand India and what India is contributing.

FINACT is an umbrella organisation to coordinate, collaborate and cooperate with Indian diaspora through its member organisations. It provides a collective representation to all levels of Australian Governments and with the High Commission of India. There are twenty five member organisations that represent the India geographically and also work with cultural, religious, spiritual and other groups. FINACT enables member organisations to organise events, and provides networking opportunities for youth, community leaders, students, senior citizens and other ethnic communities in ACT.

As a pilot FINACT will be organising this event in the ACT with the aim of taking it to other capital cities in Australia in association with its sister organisations in other states/territories. FINACT’s intention is to make it a fun-filled, exciting and eagerly anticipated annual event on the local calendar.

FINACT, along with its member organisations will be working together to raise much needed funds to organise this event. There are about 12,000 residents of Indian origin in the ACT hinterland. In addition, there are also residents that have migrated from other countries like Fiji, Singapore, Mauritius, Malaysia, South Africa, New Zealand and United Kingdom etc. The event will also be attended by community and political leaders, and ministers from federal and ACT government. With publicity and promotion we expect to reach all parts of Canberra, Queanbeyan and surrounding areas and expect large numbers from Indian diaspora and broader Australian society to participate and enjoy the event.
