Celebrate Diwali!

Drop in to celebrate Diwali, the Indian Festival of Lights!

Let’s Celebrate Diwali, the Indian Festival of Lights with cultural performances, crafts, and food tasting.

Diwali, the "festival of lights" is mainly celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs, and Jains and originated in India. Nowadays, this holiday is celebrated all around the world, including the United States, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom. Observing the victory of good over evil, Diwali is an opportunity for people to move on, let go of past grudges, and make merry. 

We will have crafts and stories, as well as cultural performances and snacks! This family-friendly celebration is open to all ages.
