Expo 2020 Dubai will be full of festive activities this week for Diwali celebrations until Friday, November 5. The Indian Pavilion has created an interactive musical LED rangoli especially for the occasion.
The celebrations include live dance and music, art, cinema, food and a specially curated 360-degree illumination projection show at Al Wasl Plaza.
The pavilion will also host a range of performances, including sibling duo Salim and Sulaiman Merchant, and Bollywood playback singer Vipul Mehta on November 4.
The Dubai Millennium Amphitheatre will rock out to the sounds of Dubai-based Hindi band Dhruv on 5 November.
Indian rap sensation Badshah will headline the Diwali edition of Late Nights @ Expo at Jubilee Stage on November 4, presenting The Live Experience, featuring Aastha Gill and Rico.
Dhol Tasha and When Chai Met Toast will complete the eclectic line-up on November 4, while Shilpa Ananth, Esther Eden and Peter Cat Recording Co will take to the same stage on November 5.
Food is a vital part of any annual Diwali festivities, and Expo’s diverse array of Indian restaurants will be dishing out Diwali treats aplenty, from high-end Indian dining courtesy of Rohit Ghai, to Diwali-themed baking classes at Bread Ahead Bakery, and a delightful sweet and savoury menu at Farrago.
2020 Club by Emaar will also serve a special menu to mark the occasion, while the no-frills Al Farwania is a safe bet for reasonably priced Indian fare.
