Co-founder Tom Oxley said they wouldn't be releasing an exact schedule, but they did have several key Indian entertainers planned until 4pm on the day - including the Indian Consul General, Manish Gupta, who will open the event.

"Being able to connect communities to give us all an opportunity to celebrate and learn about such a rich and vibrant culture is wonderful," he said.

Mr Oxley was most excited about the "classical" Kathakali dance performers and the Bollywood Exclusive which is an Illawarra dance troupe who will perform a medley of different Bollywood dance styles.
