Diwali becomes an official California state holiday. Where to celebrate the festivities

This week, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law Assembly Bill 268, which places Diwali - also known as Deepavali and the Hindu "Festival of Lights" - on the list of officially observed state holidays. The law takes effect Jan. 1, 2026. Diwali falls on Oct. 20, but the date varies each year, similar to Lunar New Year, and is based on the Hindu lunar calendar.
