**** FREE ENTRY********** Open Air Event*****Biggest Punjabi Event ever in DC | MD VA**** ***August 27, 2011 Bull Run Park Centreville VA**** Punjabi Mela 2011 is the 2nd Annual, open air, alcohol-free family event that promises to provide a festive, cordial, inviting, inclusive an fun environment for all joining. Organized by ikPunjabi, Inc. as a fund raising event, it is anxiously awaited and ...deeply cherished by the Punjabi community of the mid Atlantic region of the USA.

It seeks to build on the humbling success bestowed last year... on the very first Punjabi Mela 2010 that had the honor of hosting more than 8000 guests. Punjabis of Washington DC Metropolitan area have savored the nostalgia from the last year's Mela and they are supporting this year's event with an even greater interest backing us with their full support. Hundreds of them are lending their valuable time and resources, signing up to volunteer and contributing money to make this year's event to be a huge success. We are expecting an attendance of more than 10,000 people.

The Punjabi diaspora, particularly of this area, is highly educated and has one of the highest family incomes of any ethnic group. This is an opportunity for any person or business to reach out to a large number of Punjabis to get your word out to them, to get a first hand feel for what they think or just simply to network.

We will have an engaging environment with a variety of activities, both on and off the stage including singers, musicians and DJs of repute, folk and traditional dance groups with tremendous energy, vibrant colors and international flavor. To satisfy the Punjabi palate, there will be a variety of authentic Punjabi food from well-known local restaurants. We are sure that Punjabi Mela 2011 will be a memorable experience for kids and families. Please mark the date and plan to attend this exciting event on August 27, 2011 from 11am till 9pm at Bull Run Special Events Center in Centreville VA, right off of Rt 66. Entry is free and we are confident that the investment of your time will yield an experience and fond memories that will last forever.

We want to start a tradition, fairly humble and in no way uncommon in any one part, to bring together all Punjabis in an inclusive setting to share and promote our culture.
We will come together on one core aspect "Punjabi", with no demarcation by region or religion with constant inspiration from our doyens and all other elders.

There may be million different ways of looking at us, but underneath we are just one "Punjabi" -- ikPunjabi, 1Punjabi
"Rangi noor ilahi dharti, mare bhah mehtabi
Sur tal vich kan kan gave, jad chhede tar rababi

Uchian mattan doonghian sochan, fitrat inqlabi
Bahron bhaven japan vande, undaron ik Punjabi"
