"On Sunday, November 5, the D.C. museum at 1100 Jefferson Drive SW lights up for a pre-festival Diwali celebration from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m.; I found the Freer Plaza event full of food and sweets, performances, craft-making sessions, and more, with cuisine from local Indian vendors including Rasa, DC Dosa, Trini Vybez, and Himalayan Soul Food and a sampling of traditional Diwali sweets from Swaadish by Neelmain (gallery 27) located outside the shop in the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery." - Tierney Plumb
