India Festival 2024 — A new location

This year, we invite everyone to bring your picnic chairs, blankets, hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Don’t leave your energetic vibe at home; we’re going to have a picnic in the park with all the expected live music, food, drinks, and vendors like we have every year!

New for 2024 will be live hands-on demonstrations for cricket, mehndi (henna), and a platform to learn new moves for classical Indian dance. Be a part of the action, try your skills, and learn something new!

The 2024 ICA India Festival will be held at a new venue - Beaverton City Park, right across the street from Beaverton City Library! We are trying a new venue and vibe this year for a picnic-style event with a large grass field, a splash fountain for kids to cool off, and dozens of vendors offering food, arts, crafts, clothes, and other services.
