About the Event
Every year, the India Festival Tampa transforms the Florida State Fairgrounds into a vibrant tapestry of color, rhythm, and tradition. As Florida’s largest celebration of Indian culture, this iconic event draws over 10,000 attendees for a day of exhilarating performances, unforgettable flavors, and cultural unity.
At the heart of the festival is its electrifying dance competition, featuring 65+ performances spanning Bhangra, Garba, Indian classical, and regional folk styles. From young children to senior citizens, performers from across the state light up the stage, bringing generations together in a dazzling showcase judged by a panel of renowned experts.
But the celebration doesn’t stop there.

And for food lovers, the festival is a culinary paradise—serving everything from spicy street snacks to gourmet regional dishes that transport your taste buds straight to India.
Proudly organized by the Gujarati Samaj of Tampa Bay, India Festival Tampa is more than just an event—it’s a living platform for cultural preservation, youth empowerment, and community pride.
