Join us for our second annual Diwali celebration as we honor the Festival of Lights and the rich cultural traditions of South Asia!
Experience an afternoon of vibrant dance performances, interactive cultural activities, and opportunities to explore the connections between science, history, and tradition. From classical Indian dance and contemporary Bollywood to an engaging conversation on Ayurveda, discover how South Asian traditions celebrate light, knowledge, and renewal. Music will be provided by DJ J-Mean.
Our popular henna station returns this year, free for all attendees! Guests can also connect with local community organizations and learn more about the diverse cultures, traditions, and contributions of South Asian communities throughout Chicagoland.
