The Town's 2023 Diwali Festival will be a celebration which includes hands on activities, music, food, and fireworks.

Diwali is India’s biggest and most important festival of the year. Typically celebrated in October or November, the festival celebrates the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil, and the human ability to overcome. Diwali is known as the “festival of lights,” thanks to the practice of lighting oil lamps and decorating homes and cities with strings of twinkling lights to symbolize the victory of light over darkness.

Typically, Diwali is celebrated with food, fireworks, colored sand, and special candles and lamps. The festival is celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, and some Buddhists, reflecting the substantial religious diversity of India. But everyone is welcome to participate in this festival.

There will be no general event parking on site. Event attendees are directed to park from designated off-site parking locations at 808 and 909 Aviation Pkwy. Shuttles will be running continuously from both locations for the event. The only on-site parking will be accessibility parking.
