The vibrant colours and cultural spirit of the saree will once again light up Times Square as Saree Goes Global USA returns for its third consecutive year on Sunday, August 23, 2026, from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm at Father Duffy Square, Times Square.
Organised by Uma Global in partnership with the Consulate General of India in New York, this vibrant celebration will bring together participants from across the United States and beyond to showcase the timeless elegance and global appeal of the saree through the signature Saree Walkathon, Ramp Walk, music, and dance, including performances by Dance X Studio.
Special appreciation goes to US Host Committee members Garima Agrawal, Mitali Chattopadhyay, Rita Kakati-Shah, and Jayeeta Mukherjee, as well as to Dipti Jain, founder of the Saree Goes Global movement in the UK.
Uma Global extends its heartfelt gratitude to Ambassador Binaya Srikanta Pradhan, Consul General of India in New York, and his team for their continued support and partnership, as well as media partners, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters whose generosity, time, and continued support make this celebration possible.
Now in its third year at Times Square, Saree Goes Global continues to celebrate the saree as a global symbol of heritage, unity, artistry, and empowerment, while honouring the weavers and artisans whose craftsmanship keeps its rich traditions alive.
