Reading Dussehra & Diwali Festival
Sat 15 Oct, 12:00-18:00
Reading Dussehra Diwali Festival is a free community event where we believe happiness multiplies when you spread it.
Reading Diwali Festival and Reading Indian Community invite everyone in the community for a double celebration. First is celebrating the festival of light, Diwali, and the second is celebrating the victory of good over evil, the festival of Dussehra.
Traditionally on Dussehra, the effigy of demon king Raavan is burnt, which will be the focal point of this free community event, followed by a spectacular display of grand fireworks.
This community event is a fantastic opportunity to spread love and togetherness that builds community spirit and long-lasting friendships.
Features of the event:
- Exclusive Ravan Dahan (burning of Ravan's effigy)
- Grand Fireworks Display
- Mouth-watering festive food stalls provided by local vendors
- Bollywood DJ & Live Dhol
- Ramayan Play
- Diwali Festival Shopping stalls
- Funfair Rides & Kids attraction
- Centre stage with various cultural performances, dance and music
We have also set up a crowdfunding page to raise funds to organise this event every year and reach out to the broader community. Let's spread hope and love by making a generous donation to this fundraiser and making this event a truly remarkable community event.
