2012 Cary Diwali Festival

Johnson Lexus was a proud sponsor of the 2012 Cary Diwali festival on Saturday, October 20th at Cary's Koka Booth Amphitheatre. The day was filled with performances, cultural vendors, fireworks, and more to celebrate! The festival also included an exhibit on friendship between India and the United States. The exhibit aimed to showcase the story of two countries that have intertwined their cultures to such a degree that despite their differences, its citizens see a place of themselves in one another. Thousands attended the festival throughout the day and were treated to our 2013 Lexus RX 350 F-Sport that was on display at the entrance!
