Family Day: Explore India

Dance, create, and sing your way throughout Newfields as you explore India. Local performers, artists, musicians, and chefs help us celebrate in the spirit of Raksha Bandhan, an annual rite performed in India honoring the relationship among siblings of all ages. Kids can make their friends and siblings bracelets to show them that they care about them, join in traditional dances, grab a snack from local vendors, and learn about the vibrant Indian community living in Indy.
