The Buddha's Day and Multicultural Festival will celebrate its 26th anniversary with a theme of Wisdom and Innovation which will be explored through a huge variety of ceremonies and concerts. New to 2022, a five-story high mural painted by Mike Makatron, a well renowned local street artist, depicts the sacred fig tree under which the Buddha sat when he attained Enlightenment. Each Festival evening
from 6 PM till 11 PM, the Bodhi Tree will come alive with digital animations created by the team of Artists in Motion, providing the illusion of the tree experiencing a range of weather elements, symbolically representing the hardships and challenges the Prince experienced while in his meditative state to reach Enlightenment and become Buddha. Nearby our Virtual Wishing Tree will enable Festival patrons and people from all over the world to contribute messages of hope which will appear as leaves budding and growing on the Wishing Tree, able to be viewed by a global audience.
