Flushing Town Hall will host its annual Diwali Festival on Saturday, Nov. 5.
Director of Education and Public Programs at Flushing Town Hall Gabrielle M. Hamilton eagerly said of the upcoming event, “We are excited to celebrate Diwali with our audiences, to welcome new performers, and to display the great Rangoli submissions we’ve received through our competition this year. We will be selecting artwork in five categories and displaying their winning designs along our exterior fence along Northern Boulevard.
The Indian holiday of Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, is a day of solidarity, where the soft light of diyas illuminates the city, banishing the darkness of ignorance and suffering. It began as a part of an ancient harvest festival, which celebrated the fertility of the earth and the prosperity of the new harvest. Though Diwali has taken on a significant meaning in Hinduism, in India it is celebrated by all as a time of renewal and growth.
