Diwali celebrations enormisity and elegance in India is far more than the Chinese New Year or Independence day celebrations here in US. Even though the celebrations here in US for Diwali are no comparison to what they are back in India, but this Diwali Fair held in Hindu Temple is a fair attempt to reproduce the euphoria and nostalgia of being back in India at this time. The fair opens on Fri evening and goes till midnight on Fri, then whole day Sat and closes finally at 6PM on Sun - all this time, there will be lots of good Indian food, Indian cultural programs, Indian arts & crafts for sale, etc., etc. I plan to take Aakarsh there on Fri night atleast - Sat/Sun might be busy with Lowe's & Fleet week.10: Lowe's Build & Grow Clinic:
