Media
Information
The following are point form notes for the media
concerning the festival and key points that may help in covering the
celebrations:
One of the main reasons for the media to cover an event of this
scale is that it represents so much with respect to the diversity and
beauty of other cultures and how the City of New York embraces such
events. An event like this, though geared for everyone no matter what
sex, age, race, religion etc., really strikes home with the South Asian
community as the festival originates in India. With an enormous South
Asian community in the New York Metro Area, this is a great way for the
media to reach out and recognize their culture.
With the previous point in mind, it should be noted, however,
that the festival is meant for anyone and everyone; there are no
restrictions with regards to attending and/or taking part in the
festival! One of the most beautiful things about the festival is that it
opens its arms to everyone to join in the festivities! A warm invitation
goes out to both the public and the media to come to the festival and
simply have a great time!
All media are welcome to both the parade and the festivities at
Washington Square Park The parade exhibits the colorful and absorbing
nature of the festival, while the activities at the park provide
stimulation for the mind, body, and soul! Events will include a
