The Festival of India is brought to you exclusively by our team, United South Asian Promotions, a non-profit organization, staffed with a house of volunteers from throughout our Indian community. Our organization's leadership has had over 50 combined years experience in bringing cultural events to the South Asian community. In addition, this team's efforts to revive this Historic Festival is further endorsed by the original Festival founders and leaders, as well as the former Festival of Queens.

The 1st Festival of India was held in 1974 alongside other festivals. By 1976, moved to the huge Amphitheater known as Hart Plaza. The festival founders, Jaydevi & Bharat Sanghvi found their niche in building a template for a huge three-day event, involving fabulous dances, music, food, and art.

The Festival of India in Hart Plaza was at it's grandest point in the hands of Jaydevi and Bharat Sanghvi. Until the 1990's, many young Indians spent the whole summer in rehearsal for the Festival, some traveling thousands of miles to attend and participate. The momentum having reached its height, the Sanghvis chose to phase out their participation, passing it on to the next generation of eager leaders. Unfortunately, the curtains closed in the mid-90's.

Now, the youth of that time, have gathered their memories of the dynamic festival, noting new currents of ideas to bring to the tradition, and are most respectfully channeling their energies to return the glory of the Indian community's representation at the Riverfront, so come join us in reviving the glory of the Festival of India this year on August 25-27th @ Hart Plaza in Detroit.
