Past Events
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for the incredible outpouring of love and support that made India Fest 2025 a phenomenal success! What an unforgettable day it was—celebrating our rich culture, timeless traditions, delicious food, stunning fashion, soulful music, mesmerizing dance, and a spectacular fashion show. We welcomed over 3,000+ attendees across all generations, filling JetBlue Park with joy, laughter, food, and culture . The event featured nearly 30 diverse vendors, over 40 generous sponsors , and a day full of stunning cultural showcases—from songs to dances and a grand fashion show. A special shoutout to Mayor Kevin Anderson and his wife Krista for honoring India Fest 2025 with their presence. Mayor Anderson served as our Chief Guest and was welcomed to the stage with dhol beats and dancing —a joyful and unforgettable highlight of the day! A huge hit this year was our giant LED screen , which proudly displayed the sights and sounds of India as part of our "Tour of India" theme . From breathtaking visuals to dynamic backdrops during performances, the screen created an immersive experience that both performers and guests deeply appreciated. Our emcees, the ever-charismatic Shari Armstrong of Fox4 News and the engaging Dr. Nitin Aggrawal , kept the crowd captivated throughout the day. Thank you both for bringing your energy and charm to the stage. Congratulations to our raffle winners! Your smiles made those winning moments even more special. We extend a heartfelt thanks to our incredible raffle sponsors whose generous contributions made those moments possible: Ritz-Carlton Naples, Margaritaville, Megan DiPiero Photography, Two Meatballs in a Kitchen, Mastello Ristorante & Steakhouse, Trader Joe's, First Street Liquor and VN Nails. A big thank you to Porsche for showcasing their stunning cars, adding a touch of luxury and elegance to the festival grounds. And to Twisted Trotters , thank you for your fun-filled photo booth that let guests take home picture-perfect memories. From the seamless parking to delicious cuisine, energetic shopping, convenient facilities, and outstanding performances—this event came together in the most magical way. JetBlue Park served as an amazing venue for India Fest 2025.

We re-ignited India Fest after a 5 year hiatus due to Covid & Hurricane Ian. It was wonderful to be back with a new waterfront location at Caloosa Sound Amphitheatre in downtown Fort Myers. It was a picture perfect Florida day with blue skies and sunshine. We had over 3500 attendees, 100 sponsors and 30 vendors.
