Leicester Diwali 2025 is here, and while this year’s celebrations are a little different, the spirit of the Festival of Light shines brighter than ever! Join us as we explore the famous Golden Mile, the heart of Leicester’s Diwali, where thousands of lights, vibrant decorations, and the rich aroma of traditional Indian food fill the streets.
For over 40 years, Leicester has hosted one of the largest Diwali celebrations outside India. What started in the early 1980s as a small community initiative has grown into an iconic cultural event, drawing visitors from across the UK and around the world. Historically, the streets were packed with tens of thousands of people, fireworks lit up the sky, stages hosted music and dance performances, and every shop on Belgrave Road came alive with dazzling lights.
In 2025, safety considerations have scaled back the celebrations. There will be no fireworks, no stage shows, and fewer large-scale events, but the Golden Mile still glows with thousands of decorative lights. Families stroll together, children marvel at the displays, and the streets are filled with the warmth of community spirit and the festive aroma of pakoras, chaat, and mithai. Leicester Diwali may be quieter this year, but it’s a reminder that Diwali is about light, hope, and togetherness, not just spectacle.
In this video, you’ll see:
• The glowing Golden Mile lights illuminating Leicester streets
