Diwali Celebrations with GIN
November 8 @ 2:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Join us for this special Diwali celebration at the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre, filled with food, decorations, and sociable fun with your community!
Many Indian people, including students and young people, are away from their families during Diwali, where this festive time can feel isolated and lonely. This event brings LGBTQ+ Indian people, friends and allies together to celebrate together. Everyone is welcome.
GIN will provide an array of delicious Indian street food, including vegan samosas, bhajia and kachori, and vegetarian and vegan Indian sweets like barfi and laddoos.
For more information, follow this link.
This event is supported with funding from the National Lottery Community Fund.
