What is ID:MK Ltd

India Day Milton Keynes is a cultural, community-based non-profit, non-religious organisation. It was formed by 25 like-minded Milton Keynes based non-partisan Indian origin British Residents, from across Indian states.

They had a vision to bring together communities and to provide a place to showcase India’s heritage, culture and diversity – and so the India Day was born, an extravaganza of fun and lively entertainment.

This is the third year it has taken place, with a bigger and better carnival each time. The event helps promote local and international businesses and attracts visitors and locals alike.

Sponsors supporting the event help cover the costs and a 200-strong group of volunteers give their time to plan, co-ordinate, and run the event every year.

More than 11,000 people attended the event last year, and organisers hope to swell those numbers to 15,000 this year.

Milton Keynes has more than 18,000 Indian origin people and approximately 70,000 people in the adjoining counties of Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire.

This is an opportunity for them to come together, with other local communities for a day of true family fun and enjoyment.

Campbell Park is in the centre of the city, just a 10 minute walk from the central Milton Keynes bus station and 20 minutes from the rail stations. There are thousands of parking spaces in multi-storey car parks near the venue.

So set the date, Saturday June 24 and prepare to party Bollywood style! To find out more visit the IDMK website.
