Bhangra, beats and glow-in-the-dark hula hoops: Diwali festival lights up SF
City Hall glowed pink and yellow as San Francisco rang in the Festival of Lights with dancing, feasting and glow-in-the-dark hula-hooping.
The Bhangra & Beats Night Market’s Diwali celebration — the city’s first official observance of the Indian holiday — drew thousands of people Friday to Battery and Clay streets in downtown, which crackled with fireworks, flickering clay lamps and grills cooking up fragrant South Asian fare.
