The festival marks new beginnings\, new light to guide us through the year. \n\n\n\nTo celebrate promising occasions like Diwali\, people draw rangolis. Rangoli is an ancient art form native to parts of South Asia including India\, Nepal\, Bangladesh\, and Sri Lanka\, and is made using materials like rice powder\, brick powder\, chalk powder\, flower petals\, and colored sand. Visitors can participate in making large rangoli together with various items\, and young visitors can have fun with rangoli coloring sheets. \n\n\n\nDJ Siyah will be playing in the Amphitheater from 6 to 8 pm.  \n\n\n\n*Performances are subject to change. \n\n\n\n\n      \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Friday Nights:\n\n\n\nReconnect with family\, friends\, and community at OMCA every Friday night.
