Diwali Festival of Lights at Gold Reef City

The Gauteng Diwali Festival, hosted by the South African Hindu Maha Sabha (SAHMS), in conjunction with Gold Reef City and Post Newspaper, will take place at Gold Reef City on Saturday, October 15.

“The festival will officially kick off with a hawan ceremony (prayer offering into a fire) at 9am, followed by a multitude of entertainment acts performed against the backdrop of a variety of shopping experiences offered by exhibitors,” says Gareth Kaschula, Gold Reef City’s marketing manager.

There will be over 40 stalls at the festival and they will be open from early morning until the very end of the evening. These stalls will house a selection of food, clothing and accessories, religious goods and various other items.

Entrance is free.

As always, a spectacular aerial fireworks display (no bangs, light displays only) will light up the Gauteng night sky, closing off a Saturday never to be forgotten.
