Vaisakhi with a 'v' rather than a 'b' (as many punjabis call it, actually it depends on your accent, and that varies from which part of punjab you are from! And where my parents are from, they call it with a 'v')

In canada, vaisakhi is widely celebrated. We have a 'nagar kirtan'. Its basically a lot of fun , free food, performances, dances in the city, on roads! (they block roads for one day celebrations) It starts from gurdwara, they decorate 'palki' on which 'Guru Granth Sahib ji ' (holy book) sits. We get to see a lot of orange that day, as it is associated with the religion! And everyone is recommended to wear an orange head scrafs. If you see form a helicopter, its all orange in the city!

We celebrate it at schools! We dress up in suits, and in the lunch hour, we all get together in cafeteria, and enjoy free samosas, and sweets. We dance, and have a lot of fun!

But its not vaisakhi season now! Its when crops are ready to harvest in punjab, in April! Its on 13/14 of the april!

But thanks for this thread!
