Happy Diwali!

We love to educate people about different fireworks customs from around the world and this month we are celebrating Diwali!

Diwali (Also known as the "festival of light") is a festival celebrated by Hindus, Jains and Sikhs around the globe as well as Buddists from Nepal where the lights or lamps are lit to signify victory of good over the evil within every human being. Diwali is a six day festival which is celebrated on the first day of the lunar Kartika month, which comes in the month of October or November.

Each of these groups have different reasons for celebrating this holiday but in India, Diwali is considered to be a national festival, and the aesthetic aspect of the festival is enjoyed by most Indians regardless of faith.

Fireworks and Firecrackers (in Countries where they are legal) play an important role in the celebration of Diwali and we here at the shop have been taking part in local celebrations in Winnipeg for years.

So this year on October 28th listen for the sounds of fireworks bursting in celebration of Diwali or visit the shop and join in on the celebration yourselves!
