You’re welcome to enjoy a splash of Indian fun, dance, music and bling at HQ (214 Buckley Ave) on Saturday evening, Nov 24, from 5pm. Residents Amar and Dee Trivedi are organising this as a local tribute to Diwali – the Festival of Lights.
It’s the Hindu New Year, celebrated all over the world to signal the triumph of light over darkness, good over bad and to welcome in peace and prosperity.
There’s a $10 charge to help cover expenses (though kids under 10 are free) but they’ve also got great support from HQ, as the venue; Indian Summer, supplying Indian eats and snacks; and Hobsonville Countdown, providing beverages and refreshments.
Chuck on your ethnic gear or simply something bright, as there’s a prize for best dressed male and female.
Expect live Indian music and dancing, henna painting, authentic decorations and a traditional welcome. It’s great to see residents creating and running bright and happy events like this that everyone can enjoy!
If you use Facebook you can see more about it under Events, where you can also indicate if you’re planning to go. Go to Bling on Point The Joy of Diwali.
