Event Details

Celebrate Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights!

We are packing this 5-day celebration into one fun-filled event- A week early! 
What is Diwali? Diwali is a major holiday throughout India, and many religions around India celebrate this holiday. One of the ways this holiday is observed is by lighting small oil lamps known as ‘diyas’ in honor of Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and good fortune. The lamps symbolize the triumph of light over darkness and evil.

Let's celebrate Diwali with music, dance, crafts, and community!

We will have the following:

  • Crafts!
    • Supplies provided while supplies last!
  • Music
  • Henna
  • Dance and musical performances
  • Sari/Saree wrap station (try on a Sari!) 
  • Photo-wall
  • Vendors
  • Food

 

This event is partly supported by the Association of Asian American City Employees (AAACE), the Friends of the Dallas Public Library, and the Office of Arts and Culture!

We can’t wait to see you there!
