NEW ALBANY, Ohio (WCMH) -- There was a huge Diwali celebration in New Albany on Saturday, in which community members gathered for a festival that symbolized light over darkness. The event was held at the Hinson Amphitheater, and there were several dance performances, a children's fashion show and food trucks. For those in attendance, like Divya Prakash, it was more than honoring the Indian holiday, it was about bringing people of all backgrounds together. Get out and do something this weekend in central Ohio, Oct. 25-27 "For one day, it's like you know, you have Irish festival, for one day everybody is Indian, you know, everybody's enjoying it,” Prakash said. “So, this is another way, you know, you we celebrate and are part of different communities but one day everybody's Indian and enjoying the festival." This was the second year the event has taken place. A firework display coated the night sky as festival goers watched with joy closing out the night. There's a hope of making this an annual event. “It is a great way to get the whole community together,” Prakash said. "We hope we can continue to do this for all the cities out here.”
