Join Be Inclusive as we celebrate the festival of lights, one of India’s biggest holidays! We’re hosting an afternoon of free food, children’s activities, and sharing information about the holiday, with performances from 4:00-4:45pm.

Date: Sunday, October 23
Time: 3:00pm-6:00pm
Location: Blackburn Hall, 30 Stone Street, Walpole, MA (Walpole Recreation Building).

Diwali - also known as Deepavali which means a row of lighted lamps - is one of India’s biggest festivals. Indians light lamps outside their homes to symbolize the inner light that protects them from spiritual darkness. Be Inclusive invites all to gather in celebration of the story of Diwali; the victory of good over evil.

This event is an opportunity to educate the community about Diwali’s rich history and to come together to enjoy exhilarating performances from singers, dancers, and artists. The annual event is a platform to highlight this beautiful piece of Indian culture as well as Indian leaders and businesses within our very own community.

Kids’ activities and traditional Indian food will be a part of the festive, family-friendly celebration. Funds raised at the event will be reinvested in Be Inclusive to fund future events and initiatives.
