Thai Pongal has been celebrated for over 2,200 years by Tamils worldwide. Pongal is a non-religious festival celebrated over four days to honour and thank Nature and the Agricultural livestock for supporting our livelihood.
Markham became the first municipality in Canada to officially recognize this auspicious celebration by proclaiming January 13, 14 and 15 as Tamil Heritage Days/Tamil New Year/Thai Pongal. Please join us as we celebrate Thai Pongal to experience the display of a rich culture, enjoy entertainment by young talented artists and partake in homemade traditional refreshments.
We look forward to seeing you there!
