7:00pm – Parade concludes on Broad Street
Date: 7th November 2026

Please note: due to the adverse weather conditions forecast, we have taken the difficult decision to reschedule Diwali Light It Up! from its original dates to Friday 6 November 2026 in Basingstoke and Saturday 7 November 2026 in Reading. The new dates bring us into the Diwali weekend, giving us another wonderful chance to come together!
