The Melbourne Glenferrie Festival returned on 29 March 2026 with great fanfare on Glenferrie Street in Hawthorn, bringing a street celebration featuring food, markets, and live performances to tens of thousands of visitors.
The carnival opened with a parade by the TianGuo Marching Band. Powerful music echoed along Glenferrie Street as rhythmic drums accompanied brass instruments, drawing crowds who followed along taking photos. Children stood with parents watching from the roadside as the procession animated the crowd.
The light blue Falun Dafa booth became a focal point throughout the day. Volunteers demonstrated the exercises and distributed informational pamphlets to passersby, while children who received crystal lotus flower ornaments appeared delighted.
Later in the programme, the Melbourne Falun Dafa Waist Drum Team delivered a crisp and powerful performance with constantly changing formations, drawing large crowds to watch and photograph.
