It's time to welcome in the festival of lights, and this weekend is bringing in all the fun and action with the Durban Diwali Fair happening at the Suncoast

The South African Hindu Maha Sabha is hosting its annual Diwali Festival and invites people from all around KwaZulu-Natal to enjoy the delights on display this weekend. 

The three-day event will unite families, communities, and cultures at the vibrant Festival of Lights. Visitors can expect to experience a stunning on-site temple, the spiritually immersive Raam Bhajan Festival, and an insightful Indenture Exhibition honouring the rich history of Indian heritage in South Africa.

Festivalgoers can also expect to experience mouth-watering traditional foods from a range of food stalls, as well as cultural performances and vast market stalls offering jewellery, traditional clothing, and live entertainment.

If you decide to visit on Saturday night, you will be able to take in a breathtaking fireworks display.

"On Sunday morning, don’t miss the powerful Mass Hawan, a spiritually uplifting communal prayer that concludes the weekend with peace and unity.

With something for everyone, from young to old, and spiritual to social. The Durban Diwali Festival 2025 promises to be an unforgettable experience for all." (Facebook)
