Fourth Friday: Diwali Celebration with UW Mehfil

Celebrate Diwali, the festival of lights, with a vibrant performance by UW Mehfil, the University of Waterloo’s South Asian Music Club, and a host of Diwali-inspired activities, including mehndi painting and festive crafts.

Expect heart-stirring ballads, foot-tapping rhythms, and an atmosphere brimming with warmth, colour, and festivity.
