Diwali—the Festival of Lights—brings joy, color, and uplifting celebrations across Burlington County and South Jersey. Here are local events and gatherings to enjoy this year.
1. Mount Laurel Community Diwali Night — Food, music, and cultural programs.
2. Evesham Indian Cultural Association — Performances and festive dinner.
3. Burlington City NJ — Traditional ceremonies, dancers and diya lighting.
The largest Diwali celebration in New Jersey is in Edison NJ, about 1 hour North from Burlington County.
Burlington City & Mount Laurel have significant East Indian populations. Many put up decorations, lights, rangolis, boughs of marigolds to celebrate. Driving through these neighborhoods reminds us that Good always triumps over Evil.
