PCS also presented the colorful traditional Punjabi Bhangra dances at the main stage superbly performed by the P.C.S. associate groups.

“University of Chicago “Balle Bhangra”, Shamila Khetarpal’s “SARGAM” group, and Northwestern University Bhangra team were awesome,” said Rajinder Singh Mago.

Bhangra lessons were also given to the audience by Shamila Khetarpal and Rajinder Singh Mago.

Several other Asian American communities also participated including the Pakistani American Community, featuring models showcasing beautiful Pakistani clothes and music that were a mix of Eastern and Western styles and beats.

The entrance to the NBC5 Travel Expo was free. This fun-filled event featured hourly raffles and the cultural performances. Attendees enjoyed free fun activities such as a scuba pool, surfing simulator, a crazy obstacle course, a rock climbing wall, miniature golf and a jumbo jet activity center.
