Diwali
A celebratory event has been held in Bromsgrove for the
last three years to mark and celebrate Diwali. This annual
event includes an arts workshop in the afternoon for families
to make decorations for celebratory festivals in Bromsgrove
including Diwali and the Christmas lights event. The main Diwali
celebrations take place in the evening with music,
socialising, food and fireworks (weather permitting).
This event is supported by the Council and is organised in
partnership with the Bromsgrove Indian Community Forum. Entry to
both parts of the celebratory day is by ticket only as numbers are
limited due to the capacity of the venue.
