Festival of Chariots

Festival of Chariots is an ancient multi-cultural parade and Bhakti yoga wellness festival founded on the traditions of India. Bhakti yoga is the yoga of love.

If you’ve ever dreamed of visiting exotic places, we have a treat for you. GET A TASTE THE EAST without leaving Florida! The event includes entertainment, live music, singing, dance, drama, healthy living booths, bazaar, yoga classes, healing arts workshops, and healthy vegetarian food.

Festival of Chariots is the world’s oldest known parade. The most unique feature is a huge 25 ft tall, brightly colored chariot ornately decorated with swans, lotus flowers, flags, and auspicious symbols. The chariot has 100 ft long ropes that are pulled by anyone who wants to join in, propelling the chariot along the beach. Riding on the Chariot is the Lord of the Universe, encouraging everyone to come together and celebrate life, peace, and well-being while uplifting our consciousness. Accompanying the parade is spiritually inspired kirtan music and dancing, backed by exotic drums and hand cymbals.

It’s an ecstatic, exciting event, a vision from another world!
