What a night! ✨ 

The @CityBrampton’s third annual Diwali Mela at Sesquicentennial Park featured show-stopping performances from @Jassisidhu and Vandna Live along with local and international artists. The evening offered a blend of live music, authentic South Asian cuisine, dazzling fireworks and Brampton’s first-ever drone show, marking a milestone celebration of the Festival of Lights. 

This celebration was possible due to the support of @RBC, Performance Auto Group, @Bell, @CAACanada, @TheDanielsCorp, @TD_Canada and @TimHortons. 💛 

Thank you to everyone who joined us to make this Diwali Mela one to remember.
