An evening of light, culture, and connection in Amherst.
Celebrating the festival of lightsLooking back
A celebration
we shared.
On October 24, 2025, Amherst Indian Association brought the community together for Diwali at the Scotia Room in Travelodge Amherst.
The evening celebrated Indian culture through food, cultural performances, music, and dancing. It was an opportunity for families, friends, and neighbours to spend time together and share the warmth of the festival of lights.
Thank you to the volunteers, performers, guests, and supporters who helped make the celebration possible. Your time, creativity, and participation are what make community events meaningful.
