Diwali — Indian Traditions
Sun, November 8, 2026
Five days of clay lamps along every windowsill, rangoli powder pressed into patterns at the doorstep, and enough mithai to last well past New Year. Diwali marks the victory of light over darkness, and for Indian families in the US it's the one stretch of the year when the whole community shows up, from the aunties running Lakshmi puja to the kids setting off sparklers in the driveway.

Eid al-Fitr — Pakistani Traditions
Wed, March 10, 2027
It starts the night before, on Chaand Raat, when the new moon is sighted and the whole house erupts: mehndi on the girls' hands, bangles stacked to the elbow, and someone running out for one last box of sweets. Eid al-Fitr ends a month of fasting with sheer khurma at dawn, crisp new shalwar kameez, Eidi pressed into kids' palms, and a day of visiting that doesn't stop until everyone's been fed twice.

Holi — Indian Traditions
Mon, March 22, 2027
The one day a year when throwing fistfuls of color at your neighbors, your boss, and total strangers is not just allowed but expected. Holi welcomes spring and the triumph of good over evil with clouds of gulal, water balloons, gujiya, and thandai, and across the US it's grown from temple-courtyard gatherings into some of the biggest public South Asian events of the year.
