East will meet West during the inaugural Diwali in Vernon Festival Saturday.
Diwali in BC and the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre Society teamed to present the event that will will be taking place at multiple locations in Vernon.
The festival started Tuesday and culminates with a final show at the Vernon & District Performing Arts Centre on Saturday, Oct. 13 at 7 p.m.
Rohit Chokhani, with Diwali in BC, said this year, the Diwali is being held in five cities.
“Vernon is one of our biggest expansion,” said Chokhani. “I can imagine it will only grow and get bigger. I think the message of Diwali is about unifying and we are in a world where there is a lot of divisiveness going on so I think the spirit of Diwali brings everyone together. It doesn't matter what your culture is or what your background is, it's just a celebration where we all come together.”
Erin Kennedy, artistic director for the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre, said this is the first time for the Diwali in Vernon, but she hopes it will become an annual event.
The festival will showcase artists from Vernon and the Okanagan region as well as national artists visiting Vernon specifically for this festival.
