Join us to celebrate Diwali/Deepavali 2023!
Diwali, the festival of lights, commemorates a triumph of light over darkness and is a time for all to gather and celebrate new beginnings.
AAPI Montclair’s annual Deepavali festival returns to the iconic Montclair Art Museum. This vibrant gathering honors the diverse cultural traditions of the South Asian diaspora. Spend the afternoon at the Montclair Art Museum enjoying live performances, interactive arts & crafts, learning about South Asian NGOS and Indian textiles, hearing from South Asian authors and delighting in sweet and savory bites from food trucks. With your ticket you'll also get an opportunity to explore the galleries at the museum.
We hope you will join us for this day full of light, music and dance!
