This year marks a tremendously poignant and significant year for Sikhs worldwide as we mark the 550th anniversary of the first Sikh Guru, Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. The actual day will be marked in November 2019 however the joyous event will be marked wherever possible throughout the year.

The CSGB Vaisakhi Celebrations have become a landmark event in Birmingham, the UK and internationally. The event boasts being one of the largest festivals in Europe and outside India attracting 1000’s of members of the Birmingham and surrounding communities.

As one of the most cosmopolitan cities in Europe, Birmingham’s Vaisakhi celebrations have always been a demonstration of community cohesion in practice. We continue to engage with people of all faiths and background of our great city to ensure peace, harmony and unity for all. The whole ethos of the event is about promoting community and family spirit, a sense of unity, sharing, interfaith and cohesiveness; something very much needed at this time.

To this end, all attendees are invited to experience Guru Ka Langar (free food selflessly prepared and served by volunteers), visit the Gurdwara in the Park, see the trading and information stalls, the children’s funfair and many more exciting events on the day.
