Join Us: 20th Annual Shaheedi Smagam! 🕯️

You’re invited to…

THE 20TH ANNUAL

Free and Open to Everyone!

As in the past 19 years, Gurmat Center will be remembering the great Shaheeds of the Sikh nation at the 20th annual Shaheedi Smagam. Gurmat Center’s goal has always been to promote the message of Sikhi and to remember the legacy of our brave Shaheeds. The Shaheedi Smagam is always held on the 31st of October so our youth can spend a wonderful evening in the company of Guru Sahib and the Sangat.

To Forget Our Own History is an Injustice to Our Future Generation

All celebrations are great but to forget our own history is an injustice to our future generation. Let’s help our children realize how great their Sikh heritage is and bring them out to Gurmat Center on Tuesday, October 31, 2023.

Children will receive a bag of candy in place of the time they would spend trick or treating. At the same time, they will enjoy an entire evening filled with fun and excitement including pizza, french fries, ice-cream sandwiches, treats, prizes, and Gatka demos!

PROGRAM DETAILS

The program begins at 5:00 pm and will end approximately at 9:00 pm.
Ticket wristbands will be distributed between 4:00 and 5:00 pm. The ticket table will close strictly at 5:00 PM and children must arrive beforehand to receive a wristband.
Sangat is encouraged to arrive at 4:00 pm to enjoy fries and pakoray and be seated in Darbar by 5:00 pm.
