Washington, August 05: Thousands of Indian Americans are expected to participate in the India Day Parade in Edison – also called Little India – in New Jersey this weekend, organisers said today.
Celebrated Bollywood actress, model and television presenter, Mandira Bedi, would lead the mile-long parade along the Oak Tree Road, which over the past one decade has emerged as the hub of Indian American community in New Jersey.
Now a permanent feature of New Jersey cultural milieu, the parade is held every year by Indian Business Association in association with scores of other Indian American organisations, to celebrate India’s Independence Day.
Normally it is held over the weekend around August 15 so as to facilitate maximum attendance.
