Stop by our festive Diwali table at either the Bothell or Kenmore Senior Center lobby. We'll have a simple craft to make and a special Diwali treat.
Diwali is India's biggest and most important holiday of the year. The festival gets its name from the row (avali) of clay lamps (deepa) that are lit outside homes to symbolize the inner light that protects from spiritual darkness. Celebrate this year with an intergenerational event this year with crafts, food and music, welcoming all communities to this wonderful event.
