Welcome to the 23rd Annual Pakistan Independence day Festival USA to celebrate the 62nd Anniversary of Pakistan independence at the (George Mason University), 4400 University Drive, Parking Lot K, Fairfax, VA. From the humble beginning in Washington DC on August 14, 1987, to celebrate the anniversary of Pakistan Independence day was the first in the sense that never before have Pakistanis celebrated their day of liberty on such a grand scale in the nation's capital of the United States. The first Pakistan Festival USA was organized at the Lincoln Memorial. The gathering was an eloquent testimony of the love affection of Pakistani people living in the United States and their American friends.
Celebrating the independence of Pakistan, the festival has become one of the most anticipated opportunities to meet friends & relatives and to enjoy entertainment for mature and children. Every child coming to festival gets a gift (be there before 4:00 PM). You can enjoy a full day of fabulous music, delicious Pakistani food, booths of latest design of dresses, garments, handicrafts, jewelry, mehndi and time with friends and lot of entertainment such as pony ride, Disney characters etc. This year children will get a free ride on fun train. A number of celebrated folk and pop artists from Pakistan will entertain the audience in the afternoon.
There was no place more appropriate to hold Independence Day celebrations at the memorial of Abraham Lincoln, emancipator and quintessential American hero. Subsequent celebrations were held at the Washington Monument (sylvan Theatre), DC Armory and Montgomery Fairgrounds. The Festival is organized by the Volunteers. It is the result hard work and dedication of many private citizens from all walks of life and support from local business and professionals.
