Bollywood is back.
Tickets go on sale Saturday for Bollywood Bang, which takes place April 30 and raises funds for the Canadian Mental Health Association and the Upper Room Mission.
“Our last event successfully sold out in less than three days and it continues to be one of the most talked about events in Vernon,” said Dalvir Nahal, event director.
The 2014 event drew 428 people.
This year, Bollywood Bang is being held at the Vernon Recreation Complex and participants will dine on Indian cuisine provided by Dhaliwal Banguet Hall paired with wine from Hillside Winery.
There will also be performances by a dance group from Surrey and a DJ.
“Another unique aspect to this fundraiser is that guests have an opportunity to purchase a beautiful East Indian outfit for the event,” said Nahal.
Outfits can be tried on and purchased at Lakers Clubhouse (7000 Cummins Rd.) April 2 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Women’s outfits will range in price from $45 to $60 and men’s outfits are $50 and may be ordered online through bollywoodbang.org.
Sunterra Custom Homes is the event’s gold sponsor and other sponsors include Nixon Wenger, Alpine Building Maintenance, Emco, Ensuite Kohler, Nolan’s Pharmacy, Hillside Winery, Sun FM and City Furniture.
Tickets for Bollywood Bang are $90 or a table for eight is $720. They can be purchased online at bollywoodbang.org or at the 27th Street Florist, next to Rice Box.
