79th Indian Independence Day Celebrations

Friday 15 August 2025 - 10:30am - 11:30am
Docklands Square

Come celebrate India's route to independence and rich heritage of culture with us on Independence Day!

To remember the sacrifices made for our independence, we will begin with a traditional flag-hoisting ceremony and then spend a moment of respectful silence.

Next, get ready for a thrilling game of Dumb Charades featuring patriotic music, Indian films, and famous Indian cultural events. There will be a lot of fun and friendly rivalry as teams compete in everything from festival festivities to well-known movie scenes!

This gathering brings together students from different Indian states and backgrounds to honour our common history, share stories, and make lifelong memories. Whether you're homesick or just want to learn more about Indian culture, this event provides a friendly atmosphere for celebrating together. 

Dress code: We'd love to see you in traditional attire. Saffron, white or green colours would be perfect to add to thr festive spirit! Just remember to bring your student ID card with you as we'll need it for entry.

Come celebrate with us and make this Independence Day unforgettable!
