The ISW Harvest Festival on February 8th, the first cultural event of the year, was a spectacular showcase of talent, dedication, and community spirit. Meticulously planned and executed, the event saw an incredible turnout despite the oncoming snowstorm, proving the unwavering enthusiasm of our community.

This year, we were thrilled to introduce a pilot singing competition, providing aspiring vocalists with a platform to shine. The enthusiasm and energy surrounding this segment ensure it will become a staple in future events! The cultural performances made an amazing impact on the audience, leaving everyone mesmerized by the energy and creativity displayed on stage.

A special thank you to our esteemed judges—Mansi Patki, Shailesh Salgar, Neha Singh, and Shrinivass AB for their expertise and insights, making the competition even more meaningful.
