The Seattle Asian Art Museum is celebrating Diwali, the Indian festival of lights, with a Diwali Ball next Saturday night. Festivities include live music, dance performances, and “bollygrooves” music by DJ Aanshul. Tickets are $50 a head, but that includes Indian tapas, wine, beer and “signature cocktails.”

This sounds like fun, but it got me wondering what other Diwali celebrations are going on in Seattle. Perhaps something a little more low key.  I searched around, but couldn’t find a thing. Anyone know of any?

If you’d like to go to the ball at SAAM, tickets are available here for $50 a person. Or $150 gets you a Rajah ticket which includes an invitation to the VIP opening of Garden and Cosmos: The Royal Paintings of Jodphur. All proceeds from the ball go to support the exhibit.
