East Bay Diwali Celebrations?
Hello, wondering if there are any community celebrations for Diwali in the East Bay? South Bay etc is too far to go and would love to connect with other families who celebrate locally.

I haven’t seen a date announced yet this year, but you should join the Berkeley South Asian Parents group on Facebook, they normally have a Diwali party!
