It would give us great
pleasure and honor if you could join us in celebrating our Annual India Day
Parade and Festival on Sunday, August 17th,
2013 from 11:00
am onwards. The Parade
will start from junction of Rt. 304 and South Main
Street in
New
City and culminate at the
Rockland County Court House grounds on
Main

followed by the Festival on the Court House grounds, which will include a
cultural program, displays from the local community, several vendors, delicious
Indian food and a carnival for kids. The program is open to all and we expect
attendance to exceed 1500 people.

As you may be aware
the India Cultural Society of Rockland (ICSR) is a non-profit organization
representing over 500 families of Indian origin in the
county
of Rockland. The mission of the
ICSR is to promote and maintain Indian traditions, customs, art and music in our
younger generations as well as the community at large. We are proud to be
recognized by the
County
Legislature for our efforts and
are deeply indebted for its support over the years. Every year we celebrate
India Day with this Parade and Festival to showcase
India’s
rich culture in its various forms. The parade itself is expected to last 45
minutes to an hour. Participating in the parade will be several community
organizations marching under their banners and several Indians and non-Indians
from all walks of life, dressed in traditional attire. This year we have made it
more accessible, have more vendors and displays and have included a carnival for
children. The vibrant cultural program will include several dance and music
performances, ranging from classical to traditional to
contemporary.

On this special day, we would be delighted if you could join us at
11:00
am at the junction of Rt. 304 and South Main Street in New City and march with us in the Parade, stay
for the ensuing colorful program and join in the
festivities.
