Manahub Diwali Festival of Lights
Two days of light, food, dance and fireworks in the heart of the city.
Run by Auckland Gujarati Samaj
About this event
Our biggest night of the year. Two stages, forty food stalls, a craft market, rangoli workshops for the kids and fireworks at 9:30pm on both nights.
Entry is free and always has been. The festival is funded by stallholder fees and sponsorship, which is the only way it stays open to families who could not otherwise come.
The site is fully accessible, there is a quiet tent for anyone who needs a break from the noise, and the last shuttle leaves half an hour after the fireworks.
Everyone — families especially welcome
