Blacktown City Council organizes Blacktown Fiesta every year. The objective of 2011 Blacktown Fiesta organized from May 21 to May 28, 2011 was to celebrate the  cultural diversity with an amazing array of events that provided council residents with fun, excitement and direct experience of the arts & crafts of each culture. The one week festival finished marvellously as a Street Alive & Parade on Saturday, May 28, 2011.

With the blessings of His Holiness Baba Hardev Singh Ji Maharaj, Sant Nirankari Mission Sydney, Australia, participated in the Streets Alive & Parade to spread the Mission’s message. The mission’s float consisted of a world globe wrapped inside the gift box which had the tag, “With Love, from God.” The message being conveyed by the Mission was that- Mother Earth is a gift from God to us human beings. We should live peacfully and in harmony with each other and appreciate the diversity created by the Almighty Lord.

The entry of the Sant Nirankari Mission into the parade was announced as: “The Sant Nirankari Mission believes in oneness of God and unity of mankind. Realization of this oneness is possible through the grace of the Spiritual Master Baba Hardev Singh Ji. Realizing this oneness a person rises above negativity and lives life positively...''.

About 75 members of SNM marched into the parade, wearing attractive green t-shirts conveying the message - "Peace not Pieces – Lets work for it". The members were led spectacularly by the SNM’s ‘sewadal’ band. During the parade, the SNM members distributed over 1000 bookmarks and brochure introducing the public to the philosophy of the Mission. The members were cheered by the local audiences and appreciated for their discipline and dedication.
