Divali Nagar Inc was formed in September of 2008 here in Ft Lauderdale Florida. The first celebration took place at the prestigious Broward Cricket Park in Lauderhill, Florida for Divali 2008. There were dances, songs, music, food and other entertainment for all. This was the foundation for the now vibrant and functional Divali Nagar committee here in the USA. Celebrations last year was from Thursday October 28th – Saturday October 30th 2010. Now that we had the largest crowd ever assembled for an event of this type in this continent, we are celebrating Divali at the nagar 2011 from Friday October 21st – Sunday October 23rd.

During Diwali, many wear new clothes and share sweets/snacks with each other.
