Event Press Release provided by the India Association of Greater Boston (IAGB):
As we all recognize, this COVID-19 pandemic re-routed our paths having adjusted to various new norms and has changed how we work, learn and interact. As social distancing guidelines have led to a more virtual existence, both personally and professionally, even as we got vaccinated in phases, we yet continue our pledge of virtual existence for the foreseeable future.
We continue to comply with the guidelines and strive to find safer, low-key ways of celebrating various special milestone socio-cultural or historic occasions, which are traditionally and historically celebrated in a grand way welcoming a huge public gathering.
Last year, in August 2020, we created history by holding successful flag raising events in over 32 towns and cities, by raising and honoring the Indian and U.S Flags in the heart of each town/city, with the support of the local town and city officials.
Continuing last year’s success story in the current year 2021, we will be raising the Indian flags in over 40 towns/cities in MA, to commemorate the momentous India's 75th Independence Day celebration.
We will have these events starting August 1st through the 14th, culminating into the grand finale cultural event, “IAGB India Day”, which is back to its core, at the Hatch Memorial Shell alongside Charles River.
So, look out for details on events in or near your town and the grand finale and come join the festivity as we honor India’s 75th Independence Day celebration with style, pride and vigor!
