What is a Vaisakhi?

Vaisakhi marks the Punjabi harvest and, for Sikhs, the founding of the Khalsa in 1699. In the UK it is celebrated with nagar kirtans, melas, community events and parties.

For melas, community stages and company celebrations we supply dhol players, bhangra and giddha dancers, Punjabi singers, DJs, staging and turban tying stalls. Religious processions follow the gurdwara's own arrangements.

Where it works best

  • Step 1

    Dhol players to open the event

  • Step 2

    A bhangra and giddha performance

  • Step 3

    A turban tying stall for guests

  • Step 4

    A Punjabi singer or DJ to keep it going

Tips from our team

  1. 1

    Make it hands-on

    Turban tying and a quick bhangra lesson give guests something to take part in, not just watch.

  2. 2

    Plan for outdoors

    Spring weather is unpredictable. Agree a covered area for performers and sound.

  3. 3

    Book early for April weekends

    Dhol and bhangra teams are in demand around Vaisakhi.

When is Vaisakhi?
