Marathi Mandal Sacramento Diwali 2026 at Rosemont High
Marathi Mandal Sacramento holds Diwali on Sunday, November 15, 2026, 2:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Rosemont High School. The page describes a cultural program, food, and a diya lighting. It does not list a ticket price in English.
Marathi Mandal Sacramento lists MMSac Diwali for Sunday, November 15, 2026, from 2:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Rosemont High School, 9594 Kiefer Boulevard. The page is written in Marathi. The header in English is enough to plan the trip: the date, the clock, and the school.
The description promises a cultural program with dance and singing, a play, an art exhibit, a diya lighting, and Indian food, including dinner and snacks. Festive Indian dress is encouraged. The page does not list a ticket price in the English header. Check the mandal site before you go, and do not assume the door is free just because a temple afternoon was.
Who this is for: Marathi families in the Sacramento Valley, and friends they bring, who want a long Sunday program a week after Diwali day. Chopda Pujan at BAPS in Mather is Sunday, November 8, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., and that is the religious day. Diwali at the Capitol is Thursday, November 5, on the west steps. Rosemont is the community show the following weekend, with a stage and a meal.
Rosemont High is in east Sacramento, on Kiefer Boulevard, south of Highway 50. It is a school campus on a Sunday, which usually means a big parking lot and a gym or a theater, not a downtown plaza. The mandal does not say which door to use. Arrive a little before 2:00 and follow the crowd in festive clothes. Six hours is a full afternoon. If you only want the diya lighting, the page does not say what time that happens inside the 2:00 to 8:00 window.
Diwali day itself is November 8. This gathering is the Sunday after, which is how a lot of language mandals do it: the puja stays at the temple, and the variety program gets a hall the next weekend. You can do both.
Our take: go if Marathi Sacramento is your circle, or if you want a staged Sunday after the temple night is over. Confirm the ticket before you promise a car full of people that the door is free.
When: November 15, 2026, 2:00–8:00 p.m. (ticket price not listed in English)
Where: Rosemont High School, 9594 Kiefer Boulevard, Sacramento, CA
