Since personal use of fireworks is now prohibited because of a new by-law in Caledon, the Southfields Residents Group has obtained the necessary permits to host a fireworks show of their own to celebrate Diwali.
Diwali is a festival of lights, hence its close correlation with fireworks.
It’s one of the major festivals that’s celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs, and Jains, and symbolizes the spiritual victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance.
The Diwali celebration hosted by the Southfields Residents Group will be held on October 24 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Dennison Park in Southfields Village. Family fun activities, including Henna artists, EarlyON activities, a visit from Caledon Fire and Emergency Services, and a food booth begin at the start of the event.
At 8:15 p.m., the fireworks show will begin, and Southfields Residents Group co-chair Alessandra Carvalho said it will be spectacular.
Some things for attendees to the celebration to keep in mind are the fact that pets are not allowed at this particular event, and henna and food will be available for purchase with cash only.
If possible, attendees are encouraged to walk to the celebration, as there’s limited parking available at Dennison Park.
