Festivals in Nepal

We are happy to announce the NEPAL FESTIVAL 2010 on the eve of Nepal Tourism Year 2011. One main objective of this festival is to have fun. We will provide a wide variety of enjoyable activities for the participants and visitors. A second main objective is to promote friendship with local Americans, sharing information, talents, food, and culture.


Nepal is not only the land of mountains; it is also the land of festivals. There are more than 50 festivals celebrated in Nepal every year. While the national festivals have fixed dates, religious festivals are set by astrologers following the lunar calendar. The best part about the festivals in Nepal is that all the events are celebrated with the same enthusiasm and galore the way it used to be hundreds of years ago when people had no other means of entertainment.

The venue is within walking distance of downtown Oakland and is accessible by public transportation, including BART and more than 10 bus lines, such as 1, 1R, 63, 14, 88, 26, and 15. Some of the salient features of the festival are live concerts and cultural dances, Slides and video shows, a Nepali and international food festival, a children’s program, and a trade fair. There are also very attractive raffle prizes, trophies, medals, and certificates for winners and participants in talent competitions. The proceeds will go various charitable projects like Lions Eye Hospital and Children Home in Nepal, Curry without Worry (Free Food Program for the hungry), and Youth Leadership Promotion in California. It will be a wonderful time for adults and youth alike. We invite you and your family and friends.
