Diwali at the Greenwich Peninsula

Greenwich Peninsula is celebrating Diwali this year with a packed schedule of events and workshops for all the family. DJs will be soundtracking the festival throughout the day, while there’ll also be performances from dancers Akademi, who’ll be highlighting the elegance of South Asian dance, and Dhol drummers, who’ll bring a taste of Bhangra to the affair. Elsewhere, you’ll find a tea and light ceremony, a lantern-making workshop, and the chance to get a bespoke henna tattoo to remember the day with. The whole thing will cap off in the evening with a dazzling riverside lantern parade, where all attendees are invited to reflect on the meaning of the day as lights dance along the river.
