ok i'm in the downtown area until they find me an a place from my job. not exactly loaded with bucks. got a few days off need something cheep to do. what is the festival of light? and any other ideas would be appreciated.

The festival of light, if I'm not mistaken is Diwali, an Indian festival. Anyone please feel free to correct me as I'm not entirely sure. However, known around many parts as the festival of bangs, because of the fireworks and firecrackers that get let off

wow festival of bangs? sounds cool!! thanks for the info

Festival of Lights is also called "DIWALI", a festival of hindus (religion of most if not all indians) and is celebrated for 5 continous days. 3rd day is the main DIWALI. they celebrate it by lighting candles, fire crackers, exchanging gifts, visiting your families etc... DIWALI is a religious festival. Christmas for christians, eid for muslims, diwali for hindus. got it?

Most of my colleagues are hindus so i got this idea from them.
