An amazing day of Indian culture is returning for the second year to Portlaoise this summer.
Utsav Midlands Indian Fest will take place again at Portlaoise GAA Club on Saturday, July 5, 9am to 9pm.
Registration has started for the Tug of War competition, an event of huge popularity among Irish Indian communities.
Also held on the day is a Grand Reels competition, with Indian music and dance troups bringing the delights of India to a Portlaoise field. The fest also offers a range of authentic Indian cuisine.
Its special guest for 2025 will be Basil Joseph, an Indian film director and actor in Malayalam films.

The festival is open to the public, and free to enter, with a small fee for parking.
