"Although Sikhs celebrate each day as new by singing praises of Vaheguru, certain Sikh festivals hold historic significance. In the fall, people decorate their homes with lights to celebrate Bandi Chhor Divas. In spring, many Sikh families celebrate Vaisakhi by visiting their local gurdwara wearing the traditional colors of blue and orange. In November, early morning parades commemorate the birth of Guru Nanak during Gurpurab celebrations.
