Experience India

Experience India with an evening of dinner theater and dancing.

India Fest, brought to you by The Villages Asian American Club and The Indian Cultural & Education Center of Gainesville, will take place at the La Hacienda Recreation Center at 1200 Avenida Central in The Villages.

The Villages Asian American Club is a group designed to provide residents of The Villages and nearby communities with an opportunity to engage in cultural exchange. On the fourth Thursday of each month, the club meets for activities and get togethers.  Focused primarily on East and South Asian cultures, India Fest is the club’s annual event to celebrate India with food and festivities.

The doors will open at 5 p.m. on May 31. Dinner will be served beginning at 5:45 p.m., with a presentation of festivities starting at 6:30. Representatives from the Indian Cultural & Education Center in Gainesville, co-sponsor of the event, will perform a live dance routine. The Kebab House restaurant in Gainesville will cater the event, preparing a selection of Indian foods.

Guests will be able to have henna painted on their arms and hands and take their picture at a Taj Mahal backdrop while dressed in a sari.
