Starting at 9:30, there will be 3 hours of non-stop cultural programs that include dances from all over India, including Kerala's own Mohiniattam and Thiruvathira Kali, as well as Bharathanatyam, put on by artists from the local Malayalee Community! Please do come, and support our artists at this mega event!

ROCK ON. WALK ON. SEVATHON!
