Celebrated on the autumnal new moon, usually in October or early November, Diwali is a traditional Indian festival of thanksgiving. It celebrates the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, hope over despair, and good over evil. Diwali is a homecoming, with family and friends gathering to light lamps, exchange gifts, and share meals.

Festivities at the Bay Area Diwali Festival include a wonderful feast of food, music, and dance, a traditional Rangoli display, and local artisanal vendors. Enjoy the festive atmosphere of a cultural kaleidoscope of activities and performances. From 11 AM to 6 PM, the festival appeals to all the senses: delicious Indian food, music, dancing, a photo booth, henna and more.
