We are excited to announce the 24th anniversary of this vibrant event, scheduled for Sunday, August 3, 2025.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The Heritage of India Festival (HIF) is a highly anticipated and widely attended event that celebrates India&#39;s rich culture, art, music, literature, and culinary delights. It serves as a platform to promote cultural diversity and foster greater understanding within our communities. Each year, HIF attracts a diverse audience of all ages and backgrounds, making it one of the largest ethnic festivals in the region. Notable attendees of the festival include the County Executive, Congressional Executives, government officials from the Indian Council, the Office of Consulate General New York, and other prominent dignitaries potentially from the Foreign Ambassador&rsquo;s office in DC and/or other diplomats.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The festival receives proclamations and well wishes from esteemed figures such as the President, the Prime Minister of India, and the Governor of New York. As part of this esteemed event, IACAW publishes a commemorative brochure that showcases the accomplishments and contributions of the Asian Indian community locally and globally. The brochure also features supporters&#39; greetings, well wishes, and advertisements from businesses. We anticipate distributing hundreds of copies of this brochure to the public, free of charge, during the festival.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Given that the festival and brochure expenses are largely supported by corporate sponsors, we kindly invite you to consider sponsoring the Heritage of India Festival 2025. Our previous sponsors have included renowned corporations such as Regeneron, St. John&rsquo;s Riverside Hospital, Westchester Medical Center, M&amp;T Bank, TherapyCare, Health First and many others.&nbsp; <p fr-original-style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:8.0pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:107%;font-size:16px;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif;' id="isPasted" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; line-height: 107%; font-size: 16px; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; width: 100%; box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">We are reaching out to all of you with some very good news. &nbsp;As many of you may have already heard, the Heritage of India Festival is celebrating its 25th year!
