Diwali festival will be filled with joy

The Hindu Coordinating Council (HCC) is hosting their 31st HCC Diwali festival on Saturday, 19 October 2024, from 3 PM until 11 PM. The event will take place at the Lenasia Soccer Stadium, Hummingbird Avenue, Ext 1, Lenasia.

With an array of enticing shopping options, delectable cuisine, large-scale entertainment, and enjoyable activities, this premium event promises to be a great experience. Santech Fireworks, a well-known brand in South African fireworks, will supply this year's spectacular display. In order to meet the requirements and tastes of the larger community, the HCC Diwali festival has developed into a signature Lenasia event.

In order to lessen the number of cars on the road, drivers are also invited to walk where they reside in the neighborhood. Parking will be available at the Lenasia Cricket for R10.

The festival starts with song and dance performance on stage by various organisations, followed by a fireworks display for 22 minutes thereafter the newest sensation in Johannesburg be the Bollywood Fusion Band, will perform live, followed by DJ RSHN.
Food vendors will accommodate every taste.

HCC chairperson Kishore Badal said; "HCC continues to endeavour to keep prices low and despite many difficulties, spiraling costs, especially with regard to JOC Compliances and venue costs; and with far less donations coming in. Entrance fee this year remains at R10.00 per entrant, and HCC, its affiliates and its agents reserve the right of admission. No alcohol, hookah, cannabis, weapons or fireworks, will be allowed at the Festival."

Badal further stated that the HCC is grateful to supporting media for assisting cover and promoting the Diwali Festival and all other HCC activities. HCC also expresses its gratitude to all our friends that assist and support our activities and help to ensure its success. Special thanks to our donors, you ease the burden.

Badal ended by adding that the community should come celebrate in true Lenasia Style. Lenasia, where everyone knows everyone and everyone celebrates as one. Diwali, every Lenasian and every South African's Celebration of Lights and good over evil,

Your blood donations will be accepted by the SANBS during the Festival once more. Life is saved by blood. Up to three lives are saved by each pint. Please lend your support. Additionally, there will be a chance for basic medical examinations.

The HCC Diwali festival depends on support from individuals, organisations, professionals and business. Each year it becomes more and more difficult to finance this festival and the team appeals to wishers to support. Donations and sponsorships can be made to HCC FNB Lenasia Branch, Branch Code: 250737; Account No: 62082100638.
