Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom
Diwali Dance Fest is coming to Disney World once again. Only, instead of being at Disney Springs, it will be at Magic Kingdom and other parks! This rare entertainment will be at the park for only a limited time, so let’s take a look at the dates and details.
The epic three-day celebration of Diwali will take place from October 22nd through 25th. The party will begin with the Jashn-E-Magic Diwali Mela on Thursday, October 22nd. This is an exclusive party with performers and their guests located at EPCOT for the first time ever. This is listed as a private event for performers and registered guests only.
