Khalsa Parade

There are 5 people that hold flags and walk the whole route. Infront of everyone else.
This is something that is done in the parade.

This past Sunday April 26th was the 22nd annual Sikh Khalsa Day celebration. This parade is about Vasakhi. Which marks the 308th anniversary of the Sikh religion.

The Khalsa Parade grows every time. Organizers said that at first when this event started only about 2,000 people participated but now there are about 60,000 people participating. Also, this celebration is the third largest parade in the city.
On this day me and my cousion get together and have a lot of fun. We also pray to god and remember what this day is about.

When we reach the end there are tables of free food. Some give free chips, choclate's, and pizza. Other places give you free indian food like roti and all those things.
