About Diwali:
Diwali, the biggest and most celebrated festival in the Indian calendar, signifies the triumph of light over darkness, prosperity over poverty, and knowledge over ignorance. The term “Diwali” means “row of lighted lamps,” reflecting the spirit of joy and positivity. Traditional Diwali festivities include lighting diyas, creating colorful rangolis, setting off fireworks, and celebrating with music, dance, and storytelling.

About Diwali Fest:
Originating in 2004 as the Vancouver Celebrates Diwali Festival, Diwali Fest has grown to become one of the largest Diwali-themed events in the Lower Mainland. What started as a volunteer-driven, one-day event has evolved into a professionally managed, multi-day festival and a key cultural event on Vancouver’s calendar. Diwali Fest showcases South Asian talent, highlights artistic innovation, and actively engages the diverse Vancouver community.
