Signature events for culture, fundraising, and community connection.

INDIA FEST, presented by the Asian Indians of Hampton Roads (AIHR), is a vibrant celebration of India and its rich cultural diversity. Over the past two decades, the festival has grown tremendously in popularity, drawing larger crowds each year along with an expanding community of sponsors, donors, and dedicated volunteers.

The event began at Old Dominion University's Webb Center, later moved to Norfolk's Scope Arena, and for the past several years has found its home at the Virginia Beach Convention Center.

INDIA FEST is the signature event of AIHR held annually in Fall.

Celebrate the spirit of joy, unity, and cultural pride with AIHR's annual Holi celebration.

Holi is one of the most vibrant and beloved festivals of India, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil and the arrival of spring. At AIHR, Holi is more than a festival—it is a celebration of community, friendship, and togetherness across cultures.

Each year, we bring the Hampton Roads community together for a day filled with color, music, dance, traditional cuisine, and family-friendly activities. Our Holi event welcomes people of all backgrounds to experience the beauty of Indian heritage while strengthening the bonds that unite us.

Through events like Holi, AIHR continues its mission of promoting cultural awareness, civic engagement, and meaningful connections between India and the United States.
