Event Planning Committee

The Johns Creek Diwali Festival celebrates the symbolic meaning of Diwali, a “victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance.” This family-friendly festival is a community-organized event and embraces the cultural diversity of our Johns Creek community. A resident planning committee is being established to help plan and execute this event. This committee will meet in person 2-3 times prior to the event, and over zoom as needed. City Staff will make decisions for the event based on the recommendations received from the Committee. Below are the areas of responsibility within the Planning Committee. More details will be provided on each area at the kick-off meeting. The kick-off meeting will be held on August 24, 2023 at 6pm at City Hall.
