In the courtyard of Auburn Gallipoli Mosque, a celebration was taking place.
The air was filled with the aroma of freshly made gözleme, döner and knafeh as visitors from far and wide gathered to share food, laughter and culture. Over two vibrant days, families wandered through the festival grounds, children raced toward the jumping castle with painted faces, and strangers became friends over shared meals and conversations.
Above all, Voices of Harmony was a powerful reminder that the mosque is more than a place of worship — it is a living community hub. As Councillor Yasar observed, the festival reflects “a confident, welcoming Australian Muslim community that wants to contribute, not stand apart.”
Thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, donated, performed, cooked, supported and celebrated with us, helping make Voices of Harmony a true reflection of unity in diversity.
