Coral Springs to get a taste of India

Indian Religious and Cultural Center (IRCC), one of the oldest Indian organizations in South Florida, will showcase India in Coral Springs, on the eve of the nation’s Republic Day.

Taste of India will take place from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Jan. 25 and will showcase the country’s cultural and festival heritage of India. Besides Indian food, a cultural show and sale of Indian artifacts, there will be kite flying on a mass scale by participants as the event is being organized immediately after Uttarayan, a kite flying day.

The event is being funded partially by the city of Coral Springs, said Rema Deo, IRCC vice president. “We want to use the event to spread knowledge about the Indian Republic Day and also our rich festival heritage. We have partnered with the Coral Springs Chamber of Commerce. We see this as a good opportunity to strengthen our relationship with the city.”

The event will take place at the city's Sportsplex, 2575 Sportsplex Drive. Admission is free. Call 954-464-4612 or visit www.irccflorida.com.
