The Market will be awash in colour & lights for our Diwali Market and Community Supper Celebration. Some highlights of the evening include complimentary henna hand designs, Bollywood videos on the big screen, a special Diwali craft for the kids and live Indian music with Ken Shorley, Heidi Kalyani and Francois Cote.
As part of the Market Supper many of our vendors will feature Indian-inspired food & treats (check here for a menu by Monday)! and you can get a free gulab jamun (a rich, Indian milk dessert) with your purchase of the regular $10 Wednesday Market Supper deal (gulab jamun provided courtesy of Vijay-Luxmi Mahajan from Taj Mahal Catering).
South Asians, and some folks in the West Indies, look forward to Diwali (known as the Hindu 'Festival of Lights') with the same fervour as North Americans do Christmas, and it is considered a national holiday in many parts of the world. Although there are regional variations, Diwali is often celebrated with fireworks, prayers, feasting, fireworks, dancing, fireworks, and did I mention the fireworks?
Although there won't be fireworks at the market, there will be plenty of food, music, and fun. Come join us—eat, dance, and be merry
