IAAI Kala Utsav 2025

Get ready for an enchanting evening! Indo-American Association of Iowa (IAAI), in collaboration with the **Consulate General of India in Chicago, warmly invites you to the inaugural **Kala Utsav* in Iowa—a vibrant celebration of India's rich cultural heritage.

Kala Utsav, meaning "Festival of Arts," is the India's flagship cultural event, known for showcasing a magnificent array of Indian classical dances, folk traditions, music, and more. For its historic debut in Iowa, we are proud to highlight the incredible talent within our own community.

This is more than just a cultural program; it’s an opportunity to connect with community members, network with dignitaries, and enjoy a delicious dinner. It’s a chance for all of us—the Indian-American community and those simply passionate about cultural arts—to come together and celebrate.
