Events around Chicago for the month of October-November
From the archive: first published September 27, 2011. This was originally an events calendar for October–November 2011 in the Chicago area. An old site migration truncated the listing, and only one entry survives in full — reproduced below as it appeared. It is preserved as a record of the era rather than a current calendar.
Family Festival: Celebrate Diwali!
Join us on Saturday, October 29, between 10:30 am - 3 pm for a free Family Festival to celebrate Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights! Create a work of art inspired by Indian traditions at activity stations throughout the Ryan Education Center, including the Little Studio for our youngest visitors (ages 3-5). Help make a great paper rangoli, on a studio floor. Make a colorful costume to wear as you dance and play! Enjoy dance workshops led by Kalapriya Dance at 11 am, 1 pm and 2 pm.
Hours: 10:30 - 3 pm
Location: Art Institute of Chicago - Ryan Education Center, 111 S. Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL 60603
The remainder of this 2011 listing — which was to include a BCANA annual Diwali/Eid entry — did not survive the migration.
