This year we are expecting a good number of participants from different parts of the North America. We will cater main food items above our traditional dishes prepared by the host families in and around New Jersey and New York.

There will be a great cultural show with many participants performing traditional dance, music and other forms of arts. Kids will perform the talents that they have learned. Most importantly, there will be speakers presenting valuable speeches so that we all can benefit from. The details of the program will be communicated later.
