India Food Festival hosted by the India Association of Oklahoma (IAOK) Central Park, Moore Oct. 3-11 The India Food Festival underwent significant growth in recent years. This nearly decade-old festival started as a fun gathering for association members, but last year organizers set a new goal: to welcome hundreds of hungry families and serve up traditional dishes with bold flavors that mirror the vibrancy of Indian culture. Highlighting different regions and traditions, attendees can also enjoy live entertainment including Bollywood, classical temple and folk dance performances as well as music and traditional art. The kids’ zone is a popular place for families to hang out. Like many other festivals, this year’s activities are moving to a virtual platform.
