This year marks the 17th year of Festival of India in Atlanta. It started with the 50th anniversary of India’s Independence in 1997. This is one of the largest events in Atlanta to bring people from all parts and ethnic backgrounds of the Indian subcontinent. Indians are a model community in the US with the highest level of education, income, business ownership and entrepreneurial instincts. They have the least crime rate among all immigrant groups. Festival of India represents the best of the Indian talent and community spirit celebrated at Gwinnett Center every year. Come on in and join as a volunteer, a performer, a speaker, an exhibitor or as an attendee and be part of this celebration. Many activities are planned for this year.
