Navratri/Garba Festival @ Jersey City w/Veg*n Dinner

**Join us in the vibrant and enchanting world of Navratri celebrations in the heart of Jersey City, New Jersey!** In 2026, India Square in Jersey City is set to come alive with the joyous rhythms of Navratri, one of India's most spirited and colorful festivals. This annual extravaganza promises to be a captivating fusion of traditional Indian culture and modern excitement, bringing together people from diverse backgrounds to celebrate the triumph of good over evil through dance, music, and devotion. **Every year in Jersey City, along Newark Avenue, there is a huge Navratri / Garba Festival that draws more than 10,000 people. It is an inexpensive and excellent event that is easily accessible to New Yorkers via Path Train. Usually a festival toll gate is set up around 8:00pm, and if we eat dinner early we will likely be inside of it. We will see what happens, but be prepared to pay $5 if charged by the venue.** "Newark Avenue, in the township of Jersey City, New Jersey sets a unique example during **Navratri, where more than fifteen thousand men, women and children play Garba-Raas on the street, all throughout the night, every night for 4-6 nights - a rare spectacle to be observed**."
