Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, is a five-day celebration marking the triumph of light over darkness as observed by Hindus, Jains, Sikhs and Buddhists.
“As part of Diwali, many community members illuminate their homes with diyas (lamps) and decorate their floors with rangolis (intricate artwork made from coloured rice, sand or flower petals) to invite good luck and prosperity into their homes,” shares the City of Brampton.

Shuttles will run every 30 minutes.
There will be plenty to see and do at the celebration.
