The unifying theme of ‘light’ is used to bring together and celebrate Western Australia’s cultural diversity through dance, music and cuisine. The timing of the Swan Festival of Lights coincides with the Indian festival of Deepavali (Diwali), while popularly known as the “festival of lights”, spiritually it means “the awareness of the inner light”.

This year sees the event at a new location, with activities around the Elizabeth Quay inlet, with an amazing line up of Indian food and drink, local and international music and dance performances, workshops and activities for the family including camel rides, outdoor cinema and floating lamps in the inlet.

The evening will conclude with a celebration of light in the night sky with a fireworks display. Event is coordinated by Annalakshmi Cultural Centre of WA Inc and Saraswati Mahavidhyalaya, and supported by the MRA. Visit swanfestivaloflights.com.au for more information.
