Diwali on the Square is cancelled: do not travel for the event
The Trafalgar Square Diwali celebration planned for Sunday 25 October was cancelled. This update remains available so saved links do not send visitors to an event that did not take place.
Cancelled. Do not travel for this event. Read the organiser’s notice below.
Do not use the old programme as a travel plan
City Hall and Diwali in London both confirm the cancellation.
The original afternoon programme is no longer an invitation to attend. If you saved our earlier guide or sent it to friends, share this update with them before anyone sets off.

What the organisers have said
The notices explain that forecast storms during Saturday’s setup made preparations unsafe, following event-safety advice.
That is the stated reason for cancelling the event; it is not a live weather assessment by LONNOW. Follow the organiser’s statement for any further announcement.
No replacement date confirmed
City Hall says it is considering other ways to support the celebration.
The notices checked do not announce a replacement date or venue. Do not treat another Diwali listing as a substitute edition without checking its own organiser, date and admission arrangements.
Choose another outing separately
The cancellation concerns this organised celebration, not every London venue or Diwali gathering.
Use our current events calendar for a different plan, then open that venue’s official information before travelling. This page stays at its original address so older shared links lead to the correction.
