Brent Diwali - Festival of Lights
In 2011 there will be no Diwali parade on Ealing Road. However there will be a Fireworks Display on 5 November celebrating Diwali and Fireworks night.
2010 Diwali in Brent
Our Diwali festival on 30 October 2010 boasted an outstanding rangoli competition, the very best performers from Brent's many Indian dance schools and beautifully lit floats and hundreds of costumed performers who swirled through the streets of Wembley during the parade.
From 2pm we had traditional Indian dance and a stunning rangoli exhibition at the Shri Sanatan Hindu Mandir on Ealing Road.
The procession of colour and creativity culminated in a stunning display of lights and fireworks at Barham Park.
