Celebrating Culture, Building Community, Creating Impact
The Indo-American Association of Northeast Pennsylvania (IAANEPA) has been a vibrant part of the community since 1983, bringing together individuals passionate about our culture, heritage, and community service.
As a non-profit organization, our mission is to preserve traditions, foster cultural exchange, and give back to the community we call home. Although we celebrate the rich traditions of the Indian subcontinent, we warmly welcome everyone who shares an appreciation for our diverse heritage.
🌍 Cultural Events & Celebrations
From celebrating lively Diwali and Holi festivals to our much-anticipated annual picnic, IAANEPA creates experiences that bring people together. Through music, dance, food, and festivities, we honor our heritage while making lifelong memories.
❤️ Community Outreach & Giving Back
We believe in making a difference. Whether it’s raising funds for local projects or organizing charity drives, IAANEPA is committed to uplifting our local community.
