What differentiates IRCC Diwali Festival of Lights from other events:

We have an all-India approach when it comes to showcasing cultural performances, cuisine, and shopping. It is not specific to any one region or state in India.
We are proud to have participants from various countries, religions, and ethnic backgrounds performing in our show and in the competitions.

Many of the performers and choreographers are highly skilled and trained in Indian classical, folk and forms of modern music and dance. They are highly experienced with years of performing and often teaching these music and dance forms.
The quality of performance in the high school and college level competitions is unsurpassed, with complex themes, striking dance moves and perfect coordination.

Teams come from all over Florida and even from other states to participate in these competitions. Participants wear extravagant costumes (often custom-made), to truly depict their themes and the cultural expression of their performances.

Not only can you buy clothing, jewelry, accessories and more from vendors from around the country, but you can also enjoy delicious cuisine from the top Indian restaurants in South Florida under one roof.
