Since the inception of the Indian American Chamber of Commerce in Greater Cincinnati in 2010, we have been fortunate to host, and participate in, various community events and programs—most notably our annual Diwali Gala. It is that time of year again, and we are excited to share that on Thursday, October 2nd,  2025, we will be celebrating our 13th Annual Diwali Gala at Delta Hotels Marriott Cincinnati Sharonville from 5:30pm-10:00pm.  We cordially invite you to help us make it our best Gala ever. We have many sponsorship levels available in addition to ticket sales. We will have our highly popular treasure chest raffle and will be raising money for a Non-Profit company helping the Indian community. For the first time, we will also be honoring three local leaders who have made positive impacts on our community. The three awards are the Diya Award, Luminary Award, and Rising Star Award. For more detailed descriptions of each award and to nominate a recipient, please visit each of the links below. We’ll have traditional Indian food for dinner, a dance floor, entertainment, and speakers from local community leaders. This year’s theme is “A Night Under The Stars”. Please come dressed in your choice of Indian or Formal attire.

Please contact coordinator@indianchambercincinnati.org for any questions.
