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, despair, and good over evil. Diwali is a homecoming, with family and friends gathering to light lamps, exchange gifts, and share festive meals.

Festivities at the Bay Area Diwali Festival include a wonderful feast of food, music, and dance, a traditional Rangoli display, and art and craft booths. 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, water balls, VR games, photo booth, henna and more.
