If it’s worth celebrating, Cocktail has got it! Going forward with the motto of making memories with unforgettable events, Cocktail International is all set to light the way for Diwali celebrations this year.

The annual Diwali Festival 2023 will be held at Capitol Banquet Hall on November 5^th & 11^th from 12 to 9 pm.

Owing to Canada’s multicultural nature, Diwali has not only become a festival that South Asians celebrate but a Canadian one too. The sprawling South Asian community joins together to enjoy the religious festivities with a passionate willingness to break barriers and embrace other cultural traditions.

Talking about the concept behind the event, Syed Sumair Alam, Director at Cocktail added that : “Diwali Dhamaka 2023 is an opportunity to celebrate diversity, examine it’s impact and contributions to the world culture, and recognize values which promote compassion, tolerance and inclusion.”

Celebrating Indian culture and the Diwali Festival in Canada is our tribute to the thousands of Indians living in the GTA. A community that comes together to share arts, culture, dance, music, news and much more with individuals from across the globe has enmeshed itself into the very identity of the South Asian diaspora in Canada.

A range of entertainment activities have been planned for families and children to add that special touch to the Diwali festivities. These activities include a live musical performance, magic show, face painting, henna tattoos, clothes exhibit and food stalls. This event is specifically geared towards the local small scale businesses to help them to showcase their products and avail business opportunities.

Cocktail is positive that such endeavors could prove to be a leading light for the local community to turn the corner and step into economic recovery amidst the pandemic.

So get ready, book your tickets now and add that extra spark to your Diwali celebrations with Cocktail this year!
