As I have seen it grow from my dance team, USP DhamaaL, performing at its first year to now having acclaimed performers and artists from around the world come to it, I can say that this has to be our biggest year yet!” says Mayank Amin, CEO, Bollywood Dreams Entertainment.
The event, which takes place at Citizens Bank Park, will see the artists performing across three areas in front of up to 44,000 people, making it the biggest standalone event for South Asian exposure in Philadelphia.

“It’s so inspiring to have all of my worlds collide! Having grown up in Philly and getting Phillies game tickets for good grades in school, never did I imagine that I’d have the privilege of bringing my Desi flavor to my home team.” Rajé says. “This is just another example of how all the borders and walls are being broken down in every arena. I’m really excited to represent as a Desi and as your homegirl from Philly, it doesn’t get much better than that for a girl like me!”
