India’s best loved festival, Diwali symbolises the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil and the renewal of life. To celebrate, families light small oil lamps (diyas) around the home and set off fireworks. Now you too can enjoy a taste of authentic Indian culture at Auckland’s 10th Diwali Festival of Lights at Aotea Square and Aotea Centre - The Edge.
Bring along the whole family to sample the colours, sounds, tastes and spicy aromas of India. Highlights of the festival include delicious food stalls, traditional and contemporary dance and music, the hotly contested Bollywood dance competition and a grand finale fireworks display on the Sunday.
