More

A Community
of
hearts!
Friends of India Society (FOIS) was founded by passionate individuals on a shared mission—to unite the South Jersey community through vibrant cultural experiences. What began as a grassroots celebration has grown into one of the most respected Indian organizations in the region.
Our journey began with the Garba event that captured countless hearts and continues today through annual festivals and community-driven programs. As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, FOIS proudly champions inclusivity and service, bridging generations through tradition, art, music, and togetherness.

Foster cultural understanding by creating experiences that bring diverse communities together.
Celebrate traditions through signature events like the Kite & Color Festival, Garba, and Diwali, making them accessible and enjoyable for all. Empower communities by supporting charitable initiatives and giving back both locally and globally.
Engage and inspire future generations by preserving cultural roots while embracing inclusivity and innovation. Deliver excellence by organizing safe, well-managed, and impactful events that create lasting memories.
Across the U.S., thousands attend festivals every year—and it’s this growing love for shared cultural experiences that makes events like the Kite & Color Festival so special.
What truly makes this festival special is its inclusivity. You don’t need to know the traditions—you just need to show up. FOIS has created a space where everyone feels welcome, connected, and part of something bigger.
