Cumberland community Diwali Street Festival

For the first time ever, Cumberland will light up for a massive Diwali Street Festival held over two jam-packed days.

Cumberland City Council is bringing the Festival of Lights to Station Street, Wentworthville on Saturday 1 November from 5pm – 10pm and Sunday 2 November from 1pm – 8pm.

Festival attendees will enjoy a variety of entertainment, including a main stage that will bring together the best of local talent and cultural heritage with traditional dance performances, live music, fusion acts, and cultural showcases.

Along with a lamp lighting ceremony symbolising the triumph of light over darkness, the streets will be lined with local food businesses celebrating diverse cultural flavours, as well as a vibrant street bazaar with retail stalls offering unique products, crafts, and activities.

From a colourful Bollywood Car Photobooth to the buzzing Bollywood Block Party in Friend Park, there will also be plenty of chances to celebrate classical Bollywood culture.
