Utsav is an Indian word meaning “feast-day” or festival. Our festival celebrates Punjabi and Sikh culture and traditions including Bhangra dancing, Gatka performances (a form of martial arts using swords and other weapontry) and performances by Dhandis who are a group of Sikh historical religious singers. Also look forward to lots of delicious homemade food provided by the Gurdwara Sikh Sangat Society and more entertainment and booths through the evening!
