Diwali: Dance, Dine & Celebrate on Sydney Harbour

Diwali, the festival of lights, is celebrated by millions around the world each year. Originating in South Asia, it usually falls in October or November and brings together communities of many faiths, including Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, and others.

In 2026, Diwali will be observed from 6-11 November with five days of festivities. Traditions vary across regions, but they commonly include lighting lamps, decorating homes, sharing sweets, honoring family bonds, and celebrating the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil.

Wherever it is celebrated, Diwali is a time of joy, reflection, and togetherness.

With family and friends coming together for Diwali, make the most of the occasion with a Sydney Harbour experience to share. During the festival, gather your loved ones for a Lunch Cruise, Sunset Dinner or Premium Sightseeing Cruise and enjoy some extra time together on the Harbour
