Trafalgar Square

London’s biggest Diwali event sees 35,000 revellers descend on Trafalgar Square to celebrate the Hindu, Sikh and Jain Festival of Light, where you’ll find a sensory kaleidoscope of activities. This year’s festival kicks off with a colourful dance sequence on the Main Stage, featuring more than 200 participants performing traditional dances from across the Indian subcontinent. Visitors can also take part in yoga, dance and meditation classes running throughout the day, sample a plethora of vegetarian and vegan treats from a bustling street food market and find out more about Sikh and Hindu traditions from a variety of interactive displays, while kids will be entertained with puppet shows, fancy dress and a variety of quizzes and games at a dedicated Children’s Zone. Whether you celebrate Diwali every year or are new to the festival, it promises to be a colourful, educational day out for the whole family.
