About this happenin
A stage goes up on Broadway between 46th and 48th Streets for Diwali at Times Square, a day of Indian music and dance held in the weeks before the Festival of Lights. Admission is free and nobody needs a ticket. EventGuru, the events company of Neeta Bhasin's ASB Communications, created it in 2013 and still produces it. The Consulate General of India in New York is a partner, and the City of New York has been one since 2024. Folk dance troupes and Bollywood singers are among the more than 2,000 performers who have taken the stage over the years, and the crowd packs the plaza below the red TKTS steps. The city named October 29, 2023 Diwali at Times Square Day, the same year Diwali became a New York City public school holiday.
