All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
The festival’s dance program has two different entry points: visitors can try a Bollywood lesson or watch performances described as featuring styles from across India. The Diwali Festival of Lights is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026, at Discovery Green.
The lesson offers a chance to participate; the performances are for watching. The listing gives no performer or instructor names and does not identify the specific styles that will appear, so visitors can choose between trying a dance activity and taking in a broader showcase without planning around a particular artist.
The event description connects Diwali with the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil. That framing places the dance offerings within the festival’s stated celebration of Diwali, rather than presenting them as a standalone performance program.

Hands-on henna art, cultural shopping and Indian food from local vendors are also planned. These offerings give visitors options beyond joining a lesson or watching performances; the listing does not name vendors, products or dishes, so it does not establish a particular selection.
