LAUDERDHILL – The Divali Nagar Inc, a registered non-profit organization, will be holding its 2nd Annual Divali Celebrations on October 14th-16th 2009 at the new Central Broward Regional Park located at the corner of SR 7 and Sunrise Blvd in Lauderhill, Fl. “Divali”,
“Diwali” or “Deepavali” as it can sometimes be referred to, (the Hindu Festival of Lights) is one of the most celebrated and auspicious occasions of the East Indian community throughout the world.
They are anticipating a mixed attendance of multi-ethnic patrons to experience Divali during our 3 day festival and to partake in the great ethnic foods, refreshments, live entertainment, cultural seminars, kids’ workshops and a host of other activities which we have been planning since November of last year.
The event will culminate the event with a grand cultural display second to none, with ethnic songs, Music, Dance and a Queen Contest featuring ethnic garments on Friday October 16th 2009.
The celebration is open to the public and they have already begun a huge marketing campaign with the local media as well as the social networks so that we can bring all groups and facets of our diverse community together in one huge forum.
Our goal is to bridge the gap between generations as well as cultural and ethnic borders so that we can further unite the small pockets of various ethnic groups here in our community.
Groups from all over the State of Florida as well as Georgia, Texas, New York, Canada and the Caribbean have indicated their willingness to participate.
