About this Event

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.
