Westwood Diwali Festival 2020 & 2021

We could not hold our annual Diwali Festival in 2020 & 2021 due to COVID restrictions. However, in the true spirit of Diwali and helping one another, the South Asian Association of Westwood hosted a contactless food drive to support local food pantries with collection. See flyer for these previous events.
