The Festival of Joy brings a 3,000-year-old tradition of Indian culture and spirituality to Klyde Warren Park.
The fifth annual Festival of Joy, a celebration of Indian music, food, culture and spirituality presented by East Dallas vegetarian restaurantThe Festival of Joy, also known as Ratha Yatra or the Festival of Chariots, has roots in an ancient Hindu tradition going back 3,000 years, taking after the world’s longest-running street festival, which is held annually in the Indian holy city of Jagannatha Puri.
In Dallas, a similar chariot will make its journey around the Arts District over the course of two hours. Hundreds of festival-goers and faith leaders will pull the chariot along its route while surrounded by a parade of singers, dancers and musicians playing traditional instruments. “Dallas is a diverse, forward-thinking city, and the Festival of Joy has become a much-anticipated tradition that brings thousands of people together every year,” said Dallas City Council Member Jesse Moreno, who represents District 2, home of the Radha Kalachandji Temple, in a statement to the press. “The festival is a great way to fully immerse yourself in a holistic experience focusing on mindfulness, fun and harmony.
