The occasion is the commemoration of the 61st anniversary of India's independence from British rule on August 15, 1947, hosted by India Association of Greater Boston (IAGB).
'The celebration of the independence of the world's largest democracy in the heart of Boston, the 'cradle of liberty,' will be an enjoyable and memorable family event. We expect over 15,000 people to attend this year,' said IAGB President Rita Shah.
The prime attraction is the cultural program presented by talented local performers. It will include: colorful and vibrant dance numbers, music items, Bollywood dances, traditional, regional and modern folk dances, as well as classical dance styles like Bharatanatyam and Odissi, and high-energy folk dances like the Garba, Gidda and Bhangra.
Indian food will be available for purchase. In addition, several Indian American organizations will set up informational booths on the lawns. Activities will range from henna paintings to complimentary health check ups by the Indian Medical Association of New England, to activities by the Museum of Science.
A five-member cultural committee led by Chairperson Ganesh Davuluri and supported by the 16-member executive committee has been working diligently for months to produce the event.
