With what has now become the ‘Flagship’ event for ETS, the Deepavali is now being attended by hundreds of patronising guests. It needs a larger venue and it’s moved to the Dalkeith Community Campus outside the city.
In what will soon become a famous addition to the event, a Live Pyrotechnical Firework display is added to the event.
ETS invites artists to perform for it virtually twice this year and its Deepavali is celebrated as a Virtual event.
ETS participates in raising multiple funds to support charities in India and UK for people struggling due to the impact of COVID.
ETS conducts its first Pongal event an exhibition cum arts shows which is a great advertisement for how important Pongal is for all Tamils.
The ETS 2019 Deepavali is not only sold out, but also over-subscribed. This leads to a change to a new venue, a school in Livingston. An estimated total of 600 people attend the event in what is the largest gathering ever for ETS.
