Thousands of Sikhs will soon be gathering for the spectacular annual Vaisakhi Nagar Kirtan celebration in Coventry. It will be taking place on Sunday, April 21.
A parade will be led by colourful floats and people dressed in traditional clothing, leaving from the Gurdwara Guru Nanak Parkash on Harnall Lane West at 10am. Organisers say the route will go down Howard Street, Stoney Stanton Road, Cross Road and Foleshill Road before finishing on Harnall Lane West.
Refreshments will be served along the route and the procession will finish with acrobatics and sword fighting known as Gatka. Attendees have been asked to park at City College on Bath Street and Eden Girls School.
