Tampa Baisakhi Mela SET APRIL 19 AT ICC

The Punjabi Association of America, Tampa Bay area, will hold its Baisakhi Mela from 6:30 p.m. until midnight on Saturday, April 19, at India Cultural Center, 5511 Lynn Road, Tampa. This year’s association President Amit Dehra, Attorney at Law, invites the vibrant Tampa Bay community to “an unforgettable evening of culture, music and philanthropy.”

The event will be filled with rhythmic beats of Punjabi music, lively dance performances and a culinary spread. “But it’s not just about the glitz and glamor — this night is all about giving back, ensuring that the spirit of generosity shines just as brightly as the festivities,” said Dehra. “Tickets are selling fast, and this is your opportunity to be part of this wonderful event.” Tickets are $125 per person.

“So, dust off your best formal attire, bring your dancing shoes, and immerse yourself in an evening where culture meets compassion,” and this event is likely to be a full house, said Attorney Dehra. “Whether you're here for the mesmerizing bhangra, the soulful melodies, or simply to revel in the magic of community spirit, this is one soirée you won’t want to miss. Get your tickets, spread the word, and let’s make this a night to remember.”
