Join us for Diwali Day in Leicester, home to one of the largest Diwali celebrations outside India. We will explore the festivities together, enjoy street food and sweets, and see the Golden Mile illuminations after dark. At Leicester 20s to 40s, we enjoy celebrating the many cultures that make our city what it is. Diwali is a huge part of Leicester’s identity, and this is a great chance to experience it together. 📅 Date: Sunday 8th November 🕕 Time: 6:00pm 🍛 Food and stalls: Please bring cash or a card 👟 Footwear: Comfortable shoes are recommended, as there will be a lot of walking and standing 🧥 Clothing: Please dress warmly, as evenings are cold in November 🚗 Parking: Parking near Belgrave Road is limited on the day, so we suggest parking further out or taking the bus or taxi 🎒 Bags: Please travel light, as the area becomes very busy 🎆 Fireworks: The council has removed the public fireworks display this year on the advice of its Safety Advisory Group, due to crowd safety concerns. The lights, stalls and wider atmosphere are all still part of the celebrations. All members are welcome, whether you are a regular visitor or attending for the first time. If you're coming alone, join us! [https://visitleicester.info/festival/diwali-in-leicester/](https://visitleicester.info/festival/diwali-in-leicester/)
