August 15, 2010 marked India’s Independence Day celebration. This historic day was not forgotten in the USA. The people of the Lehigh Valley in PA came together despite the rainy weather charged with the spirit of love for India to celebrate our freedom. The festivities began with the flag hoisting held at city hall where the Congressman Charles Dent and Mayor Ed Pawlowski and other dignitaries from the area came to show their support for us and say a few words in honor of our great country, India.Ms Monica Chibber put tilak to the congressman Charles Dent and Mayor Ed Pawlowski and others.
The flag hoisting was followed by a parade through downtown Allentown. The Lehigh Valley Dhol club lead the parade with beats that kept many dancing all along the way.Monica Chibber also joined dholis . A Ganesh float helped to keep all obstacles at bay as we marched down the slightly moistened street. Indians from the valley came to represent their respective regions of India from Bengal, Gujurat , Punjab, Orissa and various other areas. Each brought their own unique flavor to the colorful parade. Some floats depicted all the great leaders of Indian politics and some floats described the glory of the different religions in India such as the very learned Guru Nanankji.
Mrs Kamlesh Chibber actively participted in organising the great show.
As the parade concluded in the Arts Park a cultural show took place displaying the beautiful dresses and various musical styles from all parts of India. Additionally, several Indian food, clothing and jewelry stalls lined the perimeter of the park. It was a joyous celebration that could not have been stopped not even by the sudden downpour. Many were seen dancing in the rain with smiles shining from ear to ear. India’s Independence Day celebration held in Allentown, PA was definitely a site to see. We were honored to be a part of the committee in Allentown that helped make it successful.
Congrats Monica and all Indians !
