IRCC presents 8th Annual Festival of Lights

This is IRCC’s flagship event held every year in celebration of the Indian Festival of Lights called Diwali. It is our organization’s mission to spread awareness about Indian culture in our diverse local community. We provide an opportunity to children and adults to showcase their talent and knowledge of Indian culture on the stage.  Hundreds of children and adults perform on stage in various segments of the cultural program including high school and college level folk dance competitions. Visitors get to enjoy cultural displays from all parts of India with music and dance performances in different categories such as Bhangra, Raas/ Garba/ Folk and Bollywood/ Fusion. In the last five years, this event has proved to be a major attraction in Broward County with over 60 vendor booths and about 7000 attendees!

In addition to the extravagant cultural entertainment program and competitions, several vendors display and sell food, clothes, jewelry and accessories, and services. Food vendors offer a variety of Indian and non-Indian delicacies. Visitors may also be able to get a quick application of henna on their hands in true Indian festive spirit!

The festivities will begin at 12 noon and end at 10 pm. Major events are scheduled between 4 pm and 9 pm.
