This is the most prominent Indian Independence Day event in downtown Jersey City; you don’t want to miss this.
This year, we are proud to showcase Mallakhamba, or Mallakhamb, a traditional sport originating from the Indian subcontinent, in which a group of gymnasts perform aerial yoga and gymnastic postures using wrestling grips in concert with a stationary vertical pole. The word “mallakhamb” also refers to the pole used in the sport.
We also invite seniors and parents to join the group, singing the Indian national anthem with the kids.
The event will feature adult dance performances, solo and group singing, kids’ dance performances, traditional Indian cuisine, Bollywood music and dance, as well as local businesses showcasing their products and services.
There will be face-painting from 5 to 8 pm at the event.
We also invite our seniors to host the flag and to sing the national anthem on the stage.
Additionally, there are numerous activities for both kids and parents.

Vendors and business owners, please email us at indiansinjerseycity@gmail.com to participate in the event.

Echoing that legacy, the JC Pride White Party also revisits Jersey City’s own history, when in the early 2000s White Parties helped launch what would become on of New Jersey’s most vibrant Pride movements.
This year’s White Party is more than just a celebration—it’s a homecoming. Held in tribute to the grassroots efforts of those early years of the organization. The night will feature JC Pride’s original co-founder, Paul Mendoza himself returning to the DJ booth, joined by legendary host Harmonica Sunbeam, the first MC of Jersey City Pride in 2001 who continues to host the annual event. Guests are encouraged to don their finest white attire and dance the night away in support of JC Pride’s ongoing mission to uplift, empower, and unite.
