The Ethiopian New Year is signaled with  the end of the rainy season and the blossoming of the yellow daisies, known as Adey Abeba. Children often cherish these flowers as gifts for their elders or draw them on paper to present as a thoughtful gesture. The festival is lively with food, music, dance, and well-wishes for the year ahead. The Ethiopian community in Victoria has been celebrating this event for several years, and it remains a key highlight on their annual events calendar.
