Visit a festival both spiritual and entertaining and make some new friends in Manchester in the process.
Dashehra and Diwali are Hindu festivals commemorating victory of good over evil. The park will be bursting with entertainment, from music and dance to street performers, jugglers, fire dancers, an Indian wedding brass band and stilt walkers. At dusk, a 30 feet high effigy of the demon king Ravan will be torched, followed by brilliant fireworks. Hundreds of school children will be participating in a lantern procession with the lanterns they have made in workshops prior to the event. There will also be a Diwali bazaar and a funfair.
Event times: 3.30pm to 9pm
Any drinks or food are additional and payable by you.
