Organisers took to social media to show gratitude for the support shown from the public.

"We are amazed at the overwhelming support we've had from the community and can't thank you enough," they said in a post.

Held annually, the celebration continued the long-running Buddhist tradition commemorating the birth, enlightenment, and death of Buddha in line with the Tibetan Saga Dawa festival.

This year's festival invited attendees to immerse themselves in multi-cultural performances, light installations in the Stupa's Peace Park, multi-faith teachings and prayer, vegan and vegetarian food, and a fireworks display.

OTHER STORIES:

The line-up included performances from the Bendigo Chinese Lion Team, Japanese drummers, the Bendigo Kung Fu Club, and Melbourne based "bubble-artist" Becky Bubbles, among others.

And if that wasn't enough, the food on offer came from a range of many cuisines, including traditional Tibetan foods, Italian fare from Il Panzaretto and veggie burgers served up by Jolly Slider.
