Greater Manchester’s Diwali celebrations are the epitome of so many things that make us love what we do: creativity, colour, performance, pyrotechnics – and the joy of seeing communities come together.
For years we’ve been bringing Bhangra beats, theatrical performances and dance to Greater Manchester for Diwali. Communities and creatives alike come together on the streets of the city to celebrate this key date in the Hindu calendar.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we created the Greater Manchester Digital Diwali to ensure the celebrations could continue through lockdown – taking advantage of the enforced digital delivery to present interactive workshops and performances by artists performing from India.
