Diwali, Boats and Fireworks in Leicester

My first visit to the Diwali Day celebrations in Leicester (one of the biggest of its kind outside of India) which take place along the Golden Mile famous for it`s Indian jewelry, Restaurants and shops. My film starts at the Limekiln lock where boats of all sizes and colors float below a firework filled sky. My film then takes us to the Golden Mile itself where the firework display crackles and sparkles above the watching crowd. the end of the film sees people making their way home after the display beneath the well known Happy Diwali archway at the top of Belgrave Road.
