A calendar of local culture

Indian events happening around Bellevue

Bellevue's South Asian cultural calendar spans Gujarati Garba and Dandiya, Diwali gatherings, Indian classical music, dance, regional-language theatre and Hindu religious observances. Events take place at Bellevue venues such as Meydenbauer Center and at community venues in Redmond, Sammamish and Seattle.

This guide focuses on upcoming dated programs, with additional links to organizer calendars for future listings. A regional event is not necessarily in Bellevue city limits, and a festival date does not establish that tickets are still available. Where a public listing does not provide a complete schedule, the missing details are identified rather than estimated.

Calendar status — October 23, 2026: The calendar below focuses on October 24 onward. Diwali falls on November 8, 2026; public celebrations and performances occur on other dates. Seattle Center has published its free Diwali: Lights of India festival for November 7. A Diwali Morning Concert is listed for Bellevue on November 15, and a Tamil play is listed for December 5. Some later listings are available through regional event directories and need confirmation from the organizer. Check the source pages for current schedules, tickets and venue instructions.
