Diwali Festival of Lights
We invite you to celebrate the 2026 Diwali holiday, also known as The Festival of Lights, with a fun celebration.
Diwali marks the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil, and the beginning of the New Year. Diwali encourages artistic expression through vibrant performances, unique exhibits, and colorful decorations.
This family friendly event will include activities and crafts to replicate components within a Diwali celebration such as colored sand, special candles and lanterns, and music. Please join us and help spread the light, color and joy of this widely celebrated tradition.
