2026 Diwali Celebrations at Rancho Cordova

From Cultural Capital by Chris Macias:

The fall season is the time for Diwali, the festival of lights observed by Hindus, Sikhs and other communities around the world. Though Diwali is typically observed over five days with a series of rituals, including prayers and feasts, you can get a wonderful taste of the holiday Sunday at Rancho Cordova’s Stone Creek Community Park. Bring the family for carnival games, folk art, music and of course, plenty of Indian foods. Finally, watch the sky illuminate with fireworks to cap off this festival of lights.
