Diwali in Prospect Park

Join Prospect Park Alliance and Indian Dance Arts Educator, Aeilushi Mistry, for Diwali in Prospect Park! Enjoy the family-friendly celebration of the Hindu Festival of Lights at the Prospect Park Boathouse. Diwali symbolizes the spiritual victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance.

In Prospect Park, join the celebration by decorating clay with acrylic colors, and create flower garlands, called har-mala, and honor the rich artisanal textiles and attire of India. Plus, create Rangoli designs with flower petals and enjoy a performance with Rhythm Tolee, an award winning New York City based Punjabi band. Rhythm Tolee performs a wide variety of songs by mixing Punjabi Folk and Sufi music with hip tunes.
