FAQ

Experience India is a cultural celebration hosted by the South Asian Student Club of Skagit Valley College. It is replacing the former event known as SVC Bhangra. Bhangra is a specific type of North Indian folk dance, so this change was to make a more inclusive, broader celebration of South Asian cultures. The event also functions as a fundraiser for SVC’s Guru Nanak Scholarship, which supports the education of South Asian Students.

There is no requirement for your attire, however, we do recommend you dress up in formal clothing.  Your fanciest outfit won't be out of place!  Cultural clothing is encouraged.  Even if you aren't Indian, we welcome you to wear Indian clothes.  If you don't have formal wear, no worries!  We would love for you to come as you are!

Transportation is available to SVC students upon request.  For more information, click here.
