A celebration of light. An evening of belonging.
Come for the music, stay for the flavours, and share the joy of Diwali with us! On Saturday, 14 November, Heidelberg Diwali returns to Kulturhaus Rohrbach for an afternoon and evening of music, dance and a festive Indian dinner.
Whether Diwali feels like home or you’re discovering its magic for the first time, you are warmly welcome. Bring your family, gather your friends, or come along and meet new ones.
This year’s theme: The Light He Carries
Diwali celebrates the light that brings hope and draws us together. This year, we also turn that light towards the men whose care, encouragement and support brighten our lives—fathers, brothers, partners, sons, friends and mentors.
In celebration of International Men’s Day, special tribute performances will honour these everyday bonds, woven into the joy of our Diwali celebration.

- Classical Indian dance: Kathak and Bharatanatyam, combining expressive storytelling, graceful movement and rhythmic footwork.
