“Every April, millions of Sikhs world-wide celebrate Vaisakhi Day, a day that marks the establishment of the Khalsa order by Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji (10th Sikh Guru) in 1699,” reads their website.

“Considered one of the most important days in the Sikh calendar, Nagar Kirtans (community religious parades) celebrating the event are held in Sikh communities around the world.”

Attendees will come across hundreds of booths sponsored by local businesses and families along the route handing out free food and treats.

With huge crowds expected once again, attendees are heavily encouraged to walk or take transit.
