The Sikh Community of Colorado held its third annual Colorado Nagar Kirtan Sikh Parade on Aug. 28, 2022, in Denver.聽 Festivities were held at East High School and the parade proceeded down Colfax Avenue covering 4 miles winding among Capitol Hill neighborhoods to end back at East High School. The program included Kirtan (spiritual music) and the colorful parade.

In addition to the program, free vegetarian food (Langar) was served all day long to attendees. Organizers expected to serve over 10,000 free meals to attendees over the course of the day.

Organizers hoped the event would be an educational opportunity for the Colorado community to better understand the Sikh culture and its people. Sikhs own over a thousand businesses in Colorado and employ tens of thousands of individuals. Their faith believes in equality of all humankind, engaging in selfless service, and striving for social justice for all.

Although they are a peace loving religion, Sikhs are often victims of hate crimes in the United States. According to the organizers, the FBI has documented a rising tide of hate in America since first releasing data on bias incidents in 2015. This data consistently shows that Sikhs are among the nation鈥檚 top five most-targeted religious groups. The group estimates that Sikhs are hundreds of times more likely than their fellow Americans to experience hate crimes and bias incidents because of their distinct appearance.
