Diwali Fest NJ

05/04/2026

We are sorry to share that Holi Fest NJ 2026 has been canceled this year. 😢

Due to lower-than-expected response and not enough volunteers to help run the event, we are unable to move forward.

We are truly sad and disappointed, as our goal was to bring the community together for a joyful celebration of colors, music, food, and togetherness.

Thank you to everyone who supported, showed interest, or bought tickets (they will be refunded). We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and hope to bring Holi Fest back in the future with stronger community support.

With regret,
Holi Fest NJ Team
