Join us on November 15th for a truly special evening, marking not only the final installment of the Bhangra & Beats night market 2024 season but also a historic milestone as the inaugural official City of San Francisco Diwali celebration. This event is extra special as it coincides with Non Stop Bhangra’s 20th anniversary, making it a night of celebration, culture, and community like no other.
Diwali, known as the Festival of Lights, is one of the most significant festivals in South Asian culture. It symbolizes the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. Celebrated with the lighting of lamps, fireworks, and sharing of sweets, Diwali is a time for family, friends, and communities to come together in joy and gratitude.
For this special Diwali edition, the night market will feature an array of South Asian vendors and food, showcasing the rich diversity and vibrant flavors of the region. All the music for the evening will be rooted in Indian traditions, with Non Stop Bhangra leading the way and special guest artists adding to the mix, creating an immersive cultural experience spread across two stages.
Get ready for an unforgettable experience as three city blocks transform into a vibrant cultural nightlife destination and marketplace, set against the stunning backdrop of the Downtown San Francisco skyline. Indulge in delicious South Asian street food, sip on refreshing cocktails, and explore over 30+ unique local artisans and retailers offering rare Indian goods, San Francisco-made jewelry, apparel, personal care products, and art.
Don’t miss out on this one-of-a-kind celebration that promises to be the highlight of the year!
Bhangra & Beats is presented by Into The Streets and Non Stop Bhangra in partnership with the San Francisco Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OEWD) and the Mayor’s Office of London N. Breed.
