Los Angeles Committee invites you to celebrate Goa Day on Sunday, August 17th from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. with a Potluck Picnic at the Veterans Park in Redondo Beach. Goa Day is a day where Goans worldwide can join in solidarity to celebrate being Goan. A day to be proud of our rich heritage, and a day to help ensure the longevity of Goans' impact here in Los Angeles. Goa Day commemorates the year 1992 - the year when the Indian Parliament finally, and unanimously approved Konkani, our mother tongue, to be an official language and more importantly, it paved the way to Goa's statehood. This year on Goa Day, Goans worldwide will strive to preserve the rich culture of Goa - the lifestyle, the music, the history, the language, the art, and of course, the FOOD. Come spend a day at the beach and share your memories/experiences/cultures of Goa. Bring your favorite Goan dish, snacks/desserts to share; and bring your own drinks. We'll provide tea and supply plates, forks, spoons, napkins & punch. Being at the beach, there may not be tables and benches, so please carry your lawn & beach chairs or mats. For those of you who enjoy volleyball, and other board games, come prepared to have some fun. Veterans Park 309 Esplande Redondo Beach, CA 90277. Directions: From Sepulveda, go west on Torrance Blvd. You will see the park on your left hand side at the corner of Torrance Blvd. and Esplanade Avenue, before you drive down to the pier parking lot entrance. There is a parking lot to the left of the park (meter parking) or if you're lucky, you may find parking on the street.
