Diwali is an annual celebration that takes place around the new moon between the Hindu months of Asvina and Kartika (late October/early November), and is observed by Hindus around the world, as well as people of other faiths, such as Jains, Sikhs and some Buddhists. The five days of celebrations include setting off fireworks, feasting with loved ones, sharing sweet treats, cleaning and decorating homes and public spaces, lighting clay lamps and creating colourful rangoli artworks on the floor.
Join MOA for a delightful Diwali afternoon for all ages. Learn to make rangoli art and colouring patterns, try sari tying, and help lay a traditional candle light design in the Haida House. A henna artist will be onsite to offer beautiful temporary body art (by donation).
