Deepavali

Celebrate Deepavali, a.k.a. Diwali, with thousands revelers at one of the largest culturally Indian events in the city. Feast on regional specialties (including vegan dishes); browse clothing, crafts and jewelry; and catch performances from top intercollegiate dance teams during the Naach Inferno competition. The "festival of lights," which commemorates the end of Hindu king and deity Rama’s 14 years of exile, culminates in a dazzling fireworks display. See it all at South Street Seaport.
