Celebrating Dashain and Tihar in Dallas–Fort Worth, TX: how do I find local gatherings?

Dashain and Tihar do not fall on the same date every year. They follow the lunar calendar, and Nepal's calendar committee fixes the dates each year. So the dates change from year to year, and you should check the current ones before you make plans. The Nepali Nexus Dashain explainer describes the festival and its main days, such as receiving tika and jamara from elders [1]. The Tihar explainer describes the days of Tihar, including Deusi-Bhailo [2]. The date information on these pages is confirmed each year, so use them for this year's dates [1][2].

To find gatherings near you in Dallas–Fort Worth: 1. Open the Nepali Nexus events page for Dallas–Fort Worth, TX [3]. 2. Look for Dashain and Tihar gatherings, tika programs, and Deusi-Bhailo events [3]. 3. Read each listing for the time, the place, and who can join [3]. 4. Check the page again as the festival gets closer, in case new events are added [3].

Dallas–Fort Worth is a large area with many cities. Programs may be held in different parts of the metro, so check the location on each listing before you go [3].
