The story
Diwali on the Square London in London
The UK's largest Diwali celebration, staged free in Trafalgar Square by the Mayor of London and the Diwali in London committee for more than two decades. Running across several days each October or November, it draws around thirty-five thousand visitors for music, dance, family activities and a market of vegetarian and vegan food stalls.
Diwali on the Square has been staged in Trafalgar Square by the Mayor of London for more than two decades, organised in partnership with the Diwali in London committee to bring the Hindu, Sikh and Jain festival of light to Britain's most famous public square rather than confining celebration to community venues alone.
