This Fourth of July Weekend, join us for social events as we transport you out of this world! Start off the weekend at our Texas themed Carnival, where bigger is better! If you’re a new attendee, we’ll also be organizing a brief orientation-style event to help you acclimate to Convention. In the evening, watch YJA-ers from all over North America as they showcase their unique skills at our Talent Show competition, Showdown in the South. After that, prepare for some exciting activities to make new friends that could last a lifetime! The following day, dress up in your most colorful kurtas and cholis and show off your moves at Garba for a magical time. But the weekend isn’t over yet; head over to our post-garba Mela to refuel with some delicious snacks and re-energize with games. Finally, dance the night away at our formal event that’s sure to be an unforgettable getaway. We can’t wait for you to join us this July!
Get ready to kick off the best Convention yet with a fun-filled carnival including inflatables, games, snacks, and more! Catch up with old friends and get ready to meet new ones. Dress code is casual and the carnival will go on throughout the first day until Opening Ceremony.
