Diwali Celebration at the Seaport
Celebrate Diwali, the Indian festival of lights, with a joyful afternoon that includes dance performances, a dance workshop, and traditional art activities. The dance portion of the celebration begins with traditional dances, the garba and dandiya raas.
The South Street Seaport Museum continues the Diwali festivities aboard the 1885 tall ship Wavertree, where you can make your own decoration inspired by the marigold garlands of Diwali, signifying good fortune and faith in the divine, with a maritime twist.
And, on Pier 16, join the Seaport Museum in decorating a “diya lamp”––or, in this case, a candle––and then set it afloat at sunset in a specially prepared pool to symbolize prosperity in the new year.
Please pre-purchase your dandiya ($10 for one, $18 for 2) online, prior to the event. Your dandiya will be available for pick-up onsite at the beginning of the event.
