Dunwoody gears up for South Asian festival of lights

Create Dunwoody is rolling out several workshops to celebrate the second annual “Diwali in Dunwoody,” a three-day celebration showcasing the South Asian festival of lights.

Create Dunwoody is a nonprofit focused on driving economic growth and increasing engagement between the city government and arts, culture and business communities.

Diwali or Deepavali is one of the most significant annual celebrations for the South Asian community. Hindus, Jains, Sikhs and Buddhists celebrate the holiday to symbolize the victory of inner light over spiritual darkness.

Create Dunwoody is partnering with Dunwoody Nature Center, Spruill Center for the Arts, Stage Door Theatre and East by Southeast for the second year of festivities.
