Now in its 13th year, Diwali on the Hudson returns as one of New York City's largest and most anticipated Diwali celebrations. What began as an intimate community gathering has grown into a sold-out, flagship annual event, welcoming friends, professionals, creatives, and changemakers for an unforgettable night honoring the Festival of Lights, while supporting the transformative work of the Desai Foundation.
Hosted at HK Hall in the heart of Hell's Kitchen, the evening blends culture, celebration, and impact through live entertainment, Indian food, dancing, and meaningful connection with a vibrant community. Over the years, the event has welcomed celebrities, influencers, and community leaders, earning recognition from outlets including Good Morning America.
More than a party, Diwali on the Hudson is a space to gather in joy and intention, celebrating culture while learning how the Desai Foundation empowers women and children across rural India through health, livelihood, and menstrual equity programs.
