With free entry, free parking and free family activities, attendees can enjoy fantastic food while listening to live music, watching dance performances, shopping for jewelry & clothing and much more.

“We’re back for our thirteenth year!” says festival Executive Director Vikas Kohli. “You’ll be able to dance and sing along to live music while eating delicious food and shopping at the #BollywoodMonster Bazaar. We’ve got samosas, dosas, kebabs, curries, mango lassis and an array of desserts, along with clothing, jewelry, and handicrafts. We’re adding more food and shopping options from local businesses daily, so there’ll be something for everyone!”
