New Albany’s Diwali Celebration fills Hinson Amphitheater on Saturday, November 7, 2026, from 4 to 7 p.m., with vendors opening at 3 p.m. for the Festival of Lights.
New Albany’s Diwali Celebration returns to Hinson Amphitheater on Saturday, November 7, 2026, from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m., with vendors and food trucks opening at 3:00. The city frames the evening as a Festival of Lights—dance, color, and community fireworks rather than a ticketed concert.
Prior years packed the amphitheater lawn with families in festive dress, stage performances, and stalls that make the night feel like a neighborhood open house. It is one of the clearest cultural calendar anchors on the northeast side.
Arrive closer to 3:00 if you want food before the main program, and bring a layer for the amphitheater seats once the sun drops behind the New Albany skyline.
