What to do in Auckland this weekend: Diwali Festival
Diwali festival brings joy to Aotea Square
=================================
Diwali events have been ramping up all week before this weekend’s free, two-day festival in Aotea Square. It’s the most vibrant event of the year for Auckland City with live music, Bollywood dance competitions, contemporary and traditional Indian performances, exhibitions, food, theatre, art installations, light projections, yoga classes, retail stalls, a chill-out zone and Bollywood movie screenings. Diwali celebrates the victory of light over darkness and good over evil, which makes for a truly joyful festival. Take public transport if you can. This year, there will be free BNZ rickshaw rides up Queen St from the Waitematā transport hub – a truly festive way to travel. As always, the festival closes with a large fireworks display on Sunday evening.
When: Today and tomorrow, noon-9pm.
Where: Aotea Square, Auckland Central.
