Diwali Fest in October

Various locations05 Oct '19 to 26 Oct '19 @ 12:00 PM - 6:00 PM

    Diwali Fest originated in 2004 as the Vancouver Celebrates Diwali Festival, and has since evolved to become one of the largest Diwali- themed events in the Lower Mainland. What started as a one-day, volunteer-driven event has evolved to the point where we are a professionally-staffed festival that has become a destination event on the City’s cultural calendar.

    At the core of Diwali Fest’s mandate is the objective of breaking cultural barriers and encouraging participation from all communities. The celebration and spirit of Diwali is truly universal. The message it engenders of promoting inclusiveness motivates the team to bring the festival to the Lower Mainland, as well as bringing the Lower Mainland to our festival.
