The entire community is invited to help celebrate the symbolic meaning of Diwali, a “victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance.”
The Johns Creek Diwali Market will feature an incredible celebration of cultural vendors, performers and food on Saturday, Oct. 11 from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Johns Creek City Hall.
The event will feature a large market with a variety of food and retail vendors, as well as entertainment throughout the event. A delicious assortment of food vendors will be on site at the market offering cultural delights and local cuisines.
The Johns Creek Diwali Market is a vibrant celebration that reflects the city’s commitment to cultural diversity and community engagement. The festival was first introduced in 2022 by City Council to expand the calendar of special events and to host event in line with the needs and desires of the community.
The Diwali celebration quickly became one of the city’s most popular events, and by 2024, it evolved into a Diwali Market featuring food, cultural performances and a bustling marketplace, all organized in partnership with a resident steering committee and City staff. This collaborative model ensures that each Diwali celebration is shaped by the community, for the community, with volunteers playing key roles in planning, sponsorship, vendor recruitment and event execution.
Through the dedication of its volunteers and the support of city staff, the Johns Creek Diwali Market has become a shining example of how a community can come together to celebrate its rich cultural tapestry and create lasting memories for all who attend. This family-friendly market is a community-organized Diwali event and embraces the cultural diversity of our Johns Creek community.
