Shoppers’ paradise at Monte
DIWALI: ALTHOUGH THE TRADITIONAL FESTIVAL IS IN NOVEMBER, YOU CAN GET A HEAD START
From food to fashion, get everything under one roof.
Whether you're going to be celebrating Diwali or you just love India, the Diwali India Festival returns to Montecasino from September 7 to 16.
Offering an explosion of colour, taste, sound and texture – and showcasing wares and delights from local and international exhibitors – it's not to be missed.
Although the traditional festival of Diwali is only taking place in November, it's never too early to get your shopping done.
Boasting the very best in international clothing, cosmetic jewellery, make-up, silk carpets, homeware, astrologers and more, you can walk the lanes of an Indian market and take in the sights and sounds of true Indian traditional and contemporary fashions, foods and accessories.
The main Lifestyle Emporium showcases a variety of homeware, food, make-up and teas that will ignite the senses.
You'll find intricately detailed and exquisite saris, perfectly cut and styled Punjabis or, with wedding season upon us, the bridal gown of your dreams in the shopping Medla.
There is something for the whole family, including camel and rickshaw rides and a kiddies cricket area.
For the adults, a lounge decked with low tables, soft cushions, traditional hookahs and a vast array of flavoured tobaccos.
An Indian shopping experience is never complete without the delicious tastes of India, of which there will be plenty.
It will run from 11am to 9pm daily.
