What’s the Festival About?

Since Buddha’s Birth Day Festival started in 2004 at Supreme Court Garden, its popularity has almost doubled every year. In the three years since his first began, the festival had grown from an original audience of 5,000 to almost 30,000 in 2006.

The festival was developed in response to the organizer’s interest in promoting peace and harmony, and promotes inter-religious interaction. It was also an opportunity to provide community access to Buddhist activities by “bringing the temple to the people”.
