Celebrating Together

The UP Association of Detroit exists to do more than preserve culture—we exist to build living connections. Every event on our calendar is designed with intention: to bring families together, to pass traditions to the next generation, to celebrate our shared heritage, and to create moments of joy that become the memories our children will carry forward.

This year's calendar reflects the full spectrum of what it means to be part of the UPAD community. From the vibrant colors of Holi to the luminous celebration of Diwali, from evenings of laughter at our Kavi Sammelan to warm afternoons at our Summer Milan—each gathering is an invitation to be part of something larger than ourselves.

We invite you to mark these dates, bring your families, and help us build the kind of community we all want to be part of—one rooted in tradition, committed to service, and dedicated to ensuring that the next generation knows where they come from and why it matters.

Below you'll find our complete event calendar for the year. Each event is carefully planned to serve our community, celebrate our culture, and create opportunities for connection. We encourage you to save these dates, register early, and bring friends and family.
