After a very successful inaugural Festival of India in 2007 – and thereafter every year – the next Festival of India will take place on Saturday, 08/17/2024 from 04:00 p.m. to 08:00 p.m. at Elmwood Park in Roanoke.
Festival of India is an event, showcasing and highlighting the Indian way of life. There will be non-stop music and dance performances and plenty of Indian food delicacies. . The festival will also have a kid’s craft area, display Indian artifacts and items available for purchase. This Festival gives us a unique opportunity to showcase Indian heritage and to play host to the great Roanoke Valley and Virginia’s Blue Ridge region to display the county’s hospitality and culture.
The culture of India has a long history. For the last 4,000 years, it has thrived, all the while absorbing customs, traditions, and ideas from invaders and immigrants. Many cultural practices, languages, customs, and monuments are examples of this commingling over the centuries. India is the birthplace of many religious systems including Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, and Sikhism. Each of these religions has a strong influence not only in India but all over the rest of the world. In modern India, there is an abundance of cultural and religious diversity as almost every state has carved out its own distinct identity. In spite of this unique diversity, the whole country is bound as a civilization due to her common history. Indian cuisine offers great variety and each region has its own distinctive flavors.
