Reading Gurukulam Foundation invites Berks County neighbors to celebrate Diwali, the Festival of Lights, at 2200 State Hill Road in Wyomissing on Saturday, November 21 at 5:00 PM. Diwali marks the victory of light over darkness and good over evil, and the evening is built around sharing that spirit with the wider community.

The program features cultural performances by children, traditional Indian dance and music, games, and Indian food. People of all backgrounds are welcome, whether you grew up with these traditions or are learning about them for the first time.

The host organization is a local nonprofit that works with area children on culture, values, and community service, offering regular classes and volunteer activities. That focus shows in a celebration where young performers take the lead and families are the heart of the room.
