This past Christmas, ARC for Nepal was a primary sponsor of the North Jersey Nepali Community Christmas Celebration event at Fair Lawn, New Jersey. The celebration not only attracted participants from the local area, but also various parts of the state.


Large group of people pose indoors, under colorful balloons. A banner reads "North Jersey Nepalese Community." Festive and cheerful mood.

The event itself was filled with food and entertainment showcasing the Nepali community's rich culture and talents. It provided a wonderful opportunity for attendees to connect, celebrate, and strengthen their ties within the Nepali community as well as introduce the younger generation to our culture.


The event hosted special guests from the local and national Nepali community, including special guest Dr. Arjun Banjade, President of NRN (Non-resident Nepali) USA.




The event was MC’d by volunteers Carrline Shrestha, Bhumika —, and Indira Pokhrel, capturing everyone’s attention and introducing performances by the Nepali community (Bhumika, Samaira, Swornim, Avik, Manvik, Nikki, Karina, Indira Pokharel). Their outstanding performances brought energy and joy to the evening, with special mentions for the incredible dance by the Cultural Ambassador for FONNJ, Kabina Maharjan Ji, and music by DJ Bhai Jung Bo Sherpa.




Guests were treated to a delectable spread of authentic Nepali dishes catered by Spice House, adding a flavorful and comforting touch to the festivities. The food included Nepali traditional food such as Sel Roti, which gave a nostalgic feeling, reminding us of all of the celebratory meals we shared with friends and family in Nepal.


This event was only possible through the incredible support of various individuals and organizations in the Nepali community. It is incredibly grateful to be able to stand by all of the fellow sponsors and supporters who helped the Nepali community make this event possible. Sponsors also added some fun to the event by donating gifts that were raffled off the guests. Congratulations to all of the raffle winners!






Looking Ahead

ARC for Nepal is dedicated to fostering community and celebrating our rich cultural heritage. Events like this Christmas party help us bring Nepali people together to create a sense of community and embrace our shared values while acknowledging the holiday traditions and spirit of the United States.


We look forward to continuing our work within the community and hosting more events that unite and inspire. Thank you to everyone who joined us in making this celebration so special. Your support means the world to us, and we can’t wait to see you at our next event!
