Eid and Diwali festivals are coming

12/11/2009

Eid
Eid-Ul-Fitr is the most joyous festival in the Muslim calendar and is celebrated by Muslims all around the world at the end of the Ramadan fast.

 

We have worked with members from the community to organise an array of performances, workshops and delicious food to showcase the traditions of the many cultures in Brent which celebrate Eid. Up to two thousand people attend to celebrate food, culture and community.

 

Diwali
Diwali, the celebration of New Year in the traditional Indian calendar, is one of the most important annual celebrations for the Hindu, Sikh and Jain communities.

 

The Shri Sanatan Hindu Mandir on Ealing Road will host a display of entries in the rangoli competition at the front of the temple. To complement the display, the very best performers from Brent's many Indian dance schools will perform.

 

Don't miss beautifully lit floats and hundreds of costumed performers swirl through the streets from Shri Sanatan Hindu Mandir on Ealing Road to Barham Park.

 

The outstanding procession of colour and creativity will then culminate at Barham Park with a stunning display of lights and fireworks lighting up the sky.
