The Tacoma Festival of Light is a community celebration that brings together people from all cultures through art, music, food, storytelling, workshops, and shared experiences. Inspired by Deepawali, the event encourages and celebrates connection, creativity, and the triumph of good over evil.
The 2025's inaugural festival welcomed hundreds of attendees and featured many cultural performances, food vendors, artists, nonprofits, and interactive workshops. The 2026 is bringing a lot more fun and engagement while remaining free for public and family- and children-friendly.
