Surrey, November 3, 2024 – The Happyness Wellness Community Society hosted a vibrant Diwali celebration on Sunday evening, welcoming community members of all ages for an evening of cultural entertainment, connection, and charity. Held from 6 pm to 9 pm, the event fostered a warm, family-friendly atmosphere that delighted children, adults, and seniors alike.
The evening began with a ceremonial lamp lighting and Ganesh Vandana prayer, marking an auspicious start to the festivities. Attendees enjoyed an array of community-led cultural performances, including a lively kids’ fancy dress competition, captivating singing by local artists, and enchanting classical dance presentations. Senior members contributed to the festive spirit by leading traditional shabad kirtan singing. Following these performances, the evening concluded with a session of meditation and laughter yoga, leaving everyone relaxed and uplifted.
A highlight of the event was the strong emphasis on charity and community support.
