For the past fifteen years, Diwali has been a cultural institution at the University of Iowa, as the biggest diversity initiative of the Fall.

This year’s Diwali program will include a reception with catered Indian meal from Taste of India, providing the best Indian cuisine that the Iowa City area has to offer. The show will feature a range of cultural performances from classical Indian music to modern Bollywood dance.
