ISKCON Scarborough's 6th Annual Jagannath Festival is scheduled to take place on Saturday -18th Aug 2018 at the Milliken Park, Scarborough, Ontario, Canada (McCowan & Steeles).
This grand event is free for everyone and includes a diverse assortment of multicultural activities for the entire family. The focus of this year is to make the stage programs newcomer friendly.
There will be several tents in the park where you can get your face painted beautifully, apply henna to your hands/palms and you will also find cookbooks, ancient Vedic texts and nice framed pictures.
The Merciful Supreme Lord of the Universe - Lord Jagannath and His brother Lord Baladeva and their sister Subhadra Devi will be coming out of the temple to the Park to give their unlimited blessings.
The highlight of the event is the distribution of free vegetarian feast/free water for everyone throughout the day starting at 11 am.
Several dignitaries including Dr Raymond Cho (MPP) have confirmed their participation in the event.
This year the stage programs will feature several world-class performers including singers from Australia, lion dance from China and magicians who regularly perform in Disney cruises.
The parade starts inside the Milliken Park at 11 am and the VIP inauguration is scheduled to take place at 12 noon.
The complete schedule of the events including the names of the performers will be revealed in the next few days.
We are grateful to ATN for their confirmation to broadcast the event.
Spreading the message about the event:
Devotees have been spreading the message about this upcoming event through the door to door flyer distribution & affixing the flyers at various grocery/Department stores.
