Join us for the Summit Area YMCA’s 9th Annual Diwali Festival of Lights, a vibrant celebration featuring a traditional lighting ceremony, dance performances, arts and crafts, and delicious Indian cuisine available for purchase from Neelam Fine Indian Cuisine. End the night with a lively Bollywood dance party. Fun for the whole family!
Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is one of the most widely celebrated holidays in India and is observed by Hindus, Sikhs, and Jains around the world. It symbolizes the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil, and it’s marked by glowing lamps, music, dance, and food shared with family and friends.
Our celebration invites everyone to experience these traditions together, learn about the meaning behind the holiday, and connect with neighbors. It’s one of the ways the Y creates welcoming spaces where every member of our community can belong.
We can’t wait to see you there! A huge thank you to our partners for helping bring this event to life. We couldn’t do it without you.
