Bridgewater Commons’ Post

Bridgewater Commons welcomed thousands of Central New Jersey residents to its first two-day Diwali @ The Commons event in partnership with Renascent Media. The celebration featured traditional music, dance performances, a Sari Walk, mehndi stations, cultural vendor activations, and more, offering a full cultural experience for the community. “Expanding to two days allowed us to reflect the true breadth of Diwali and provide an opportunity for all to learn about and celebrate South Asian culture,” said Tom Kovacic, Marketing and Business Development Director at Bridgewater Commons. The event highlighted Diwali’s spirit—the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance—while fostering community engagement and cultural appreciation.
