CULTURAL CELEBRATIONS
Celebrate Diwali - the Hindu Festival of Lights!
Vickery Branch Library is packing this 5-day celebration into one fun-filled event- A week early!
What is Diwali? Diwali is a major holiday throughout India, and many religions around India celebrate this holiday. One of the ways this holiday is observed is by lighting small oil lamps known as ‘diyas’ in honor of Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and good fortune. The lamps symbolize the triumph of light over darkness and evil.
Join them on Saturday, Nov 4 from 11am-2pm. Click here for more information:
Kids will receive 5 house points for attending, wearing Sudie Swag, and posting a picture to the FB Page or showing proof of attendance in some way.
Dia de Los Muertos Celebration
