This event presents a rich tapestry of Indian culture integrated as presented by many talented local artists, singers, and dancers.

A popular item in this year’s festival is the Vrindavan Village Theme Park which displays arts and culture with traditional costumes, architecture, folklore and spirituality.
On August 13th and 14th the birthday of Krishna will be celebrated the same way as it is celebrated traditionally in India. The celebration goes until midnight on both evenings. There will be continual concerts, plays, singing and dancing with traditional ceremonial decorations.
