Food

Can you imagine the celebration of an Indian festival and not think about all the great food that comes with it? Well, we certainly cannot, and neither should you!

The cuisine of India has a heritage just as rich as that of her culture and traditions. Every region, every season, and every festival or significant occasion is accompanied by a distinct menu of dishes ranging from surprisingly simple to intimidatingly intricate!

We hope to serve you the very same festive cheer via our food booths at the event, so please arrive with an appetite and don’t forget to bring CASH (Credits cards are accepted for a $15 minimum charge).

 

Event Sponsors

Our sincere thanks to all the Sponsors for supporting this event.

Vendor Booths

As we enter the final few weeks of summer, one thing that is on everyone’s mind is to enjoy the beautiful fall weather with family and friends. Ganesh Nimajjan at ICCT is the flagship event for our community gathering during the past seven years. Every year thousands of people around the mid-south area visit the ICCT for this unique fun filled event.

This event show casing the Ganesh Chathurthi celebrations from various regions of India, draws steady crowds all throughout the day. After the challenging events of the pandemic during the past 3 years, we are preparing for a significantly larger audience to attend the event this year.

Vendor booths at this event have been an incredible contributor for the success of the event. Vendor booths from the past include Jewelry, Arts and Crafts, Books, Clothing, Education, Health Care, Banking,Tax/Financial consulting etc. NO FOOD booths from vendors are allowed since ICCT Kitchen committee will have their own food booths serving various delicacies.

For those of you who have participated in the past we would like to express our gratitude and request your continued participation this year. If you are new, please consider this great opportunity for being a part of one the biggest gathering of our community from all around Memphis and the mid-south.
