Vaisakhi returns to Gravesend

One of our favourite events is the Sikh festival of Vaisakhi, which returned to the streets of Gravesend this April after a two year absence.

Vaisakhi marks the beginning of spring and it is one of the most important dates for the Sikh community. The celebratory and colourful parade starts and finishes at the Gravesend Gurdwara and is part of a weekend of celebrations.

Sunita Chauhan, Associate Solicitor at Gullands comments: “It was great to be back with the Gullands’ stand, handing out sweets and enjoying the parade and the celebrations. Vaisakhi brings together the wider Gravesend community and it was wonderful to see so many families out enjoying the sunshine.”
