Toronto is gearing up for a huge celebration as Diwali - Festival of Lights returns to the city, complete with ethnic bites, a diverse lineup of vendors and artists, and, of course, an enormous fireworks display. This year, attendees can expect over 1,000 artists — both local and international — to grace the stage with live dance shows and musical performances. Although the international appearances are still under wraps, last year the festival featured Mumbai Troupers and Bollywood actor Omi Vaidya.
