Wellington’s vibrant Diwali festival returns to the capital on Sunday 16 October. At a new venue, the vibrant event is slightly smaller but just as sweet, with non-stop cultural entertainment, food, and Indian cultural activities for the whole family to enjoy.
There will be Indian fashion clothes and jewellery retail stalls, henna and Indian lantern making, and some food stalls.
