The festival of Diwali is a ‘celebration of light’ and all that it encompasses. This includes the triumph of good over evil, knowledge over ignorance, and strength over fear. This holiday has spread across the land. We, at Round Rock Diwali Festival, bring the magic of this celebration as a fun fest for all families in the community.
Bring out your family and friends to enjoy beautiful street lights, savory food, music, cultural dance, beautiful Rangoli (Sand Art) and a fashion show!
