Amazing India 2016 Review
|
Amazing India 2016 at Navy Pier was truly amazing. Many people had a blast at the free event which IAHM has organized with Navy Pier for the 6th year in a row. Shoppers snapped up ethnic merchandise, foodies savored Indian cuisine, children designed masks and non-stop entertainment kept audiences enthralled. Our special thanks to all the volunteers, performers and their families, vendors and the visitors at Navy Pier who made this event such a resounding success. Truly, a good time was had by all!
