Threads & Bridges Festival Launches in Richmond | Richmond News

Richmond is set to host the Threads & Bridges Festival this August, celebrating the rich, often unseen cultural tapestry of Indian Americans in Virginia. More than just a party, this two-day event at the Virginia Museum of History & Culture launches the Threads & Bridges Oral History Project — a sweeping effort to record stories of migration, faith, family, and daily life from across the state. Designed to connect generations and communities, the festival features live music, storytelling, exhibits, and powerful panels including Lieutenant Governor Ghazala Hashmi and Mayor Danny Avula discussing identity, responsibility, and bridging cultures. It’s an invitation to explore, celebrate, and preserve the vibrant legacy of Indian American voices right in your own backyard.
