New Site For Bollywood

There is a new site for one of the hottest tickets on Vernon’s annual social calender.

The 6th annual Bollywood Bang will be held April 27th at Predator Ridge Resort.

Event founder and organizer Dalvir Nahal says they are excited to partner with Predator Ridge.

“It has been a long-time dream of mine to host the event at Predator, which gives us the opportunity to enhance the celebrations to even greater heights.  This year promises to be our most dazzling Bollywood event to date.”

Nahal says guests will be taken on a festive journey beginning with a red carpet reception, followed by henna painting, Bhangra dancers, a feast of more than a dozen authentic delectable South Asian dishes and desserts paired with fine Okanagan wines, and a dance celebration with a live DJ.

A live and silent auction will feature exquisite and unique prize packages.

Since inception in 2013, Bollywood Bang has raised more than $250,000 for a variety of local charities.

Funds raised from this year’s event will support Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), Vernon & District Branch.

“CMHA Vernon is honoured to be chosen as the recipient charity for Bollywood Bang, allowing us to enhance our support for youth and families in our community living with mental health challenges,” said executive director Julia Payson.

“With nearly all of the tickets sold, we can truly say this is one of the most anticipated events of the year,” said Nahal.

Tickets are $175 each or $1,750 for a table of 10.  A limited amount of tickets will be available to the public.

It has evolved to become one of the truly unique and marquee events in the region and Predator Ridge is the perfect venue to ensure insure the most memorable experiences for all,” said Brad Pelletier, Senior Vice President, Okanagan Wesbild.
