London Bangla A Force for the community…
LONDON MAYOR Sadiq Khan is reminding Londoners that Diwail on the Square takes place this Sunday. The celebration will be taking over Trafalgar Square and all Londoners are invited.
Diwali – usually translated as the “festival of lights” is a key festival for Hindu, Sikh and Jain communities. It symbolises the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil.
The Trafalgar Square event begins with a display by 200 dancers. This is followed by music and dance performances on the main stage, and comedy turns. These main performances will be surrounded by stalls offering family-friendly activities such as sari and turban tying, puppet shows, yoga, meditation, henna, and dance workshops.
Of course there will be plenty of food on offer. There will be a market and individual food stalls selling a wide range of vegetarian and vegan dishes.
●Diwali in the Square will take place from 1-7pm on Sunday, 27th October in Trafalgar Square. Admission is free and there is no need to book your place. To read the events programme, go to:
