On Saturday Frederick High School played host to the 22nd Annual Festival of India, an event organized by the Indian Association of Frederick (IAF). People gathered from across Frederick County and beyond to experience Indian cultural heritage at its vivid best.
A special highlight of the day was the appearance of the Frederick County Executive, who joined the celebration dressed in traditional Indian attire, warmly engaging with attendees and honoring the spirit of cultural unity.
The festival offered a mix of cultural performances, traditional and modern music, dance, authentic Indian cuisine, shopping for artisanal goods, and family-friendly activity booths. It served both as a celebration of Indian cultural identity and a bridge connecting communities.
IAF is a nonprofit with a mission “to promote and develop cultural ties among the people of Indian origin and to create awareness of Indian ethnic culture among people of non‑Indian origin residing in Frederick County and its vicinity.”
