This past weekend, we had the honor and a privilege to be part of the Tallahassee Spring Parade!

The Tallahassee Spring Parade is a celebration of history and culture, with over 100 colorful floats, marching bands, dancing groups, and more. The parade was once again graced by Lord Jagannath on His chariot with His devotees dancing and chanting the Holy Names along the procession route.



As the parade made its way through the streets of Tallahassee, the sound of melodious chanting and the sight of devotees dressed in bright colors dancing in choreographed steps drew the attention of onlookers, bringing a lot of excitement and positive reactions.

This opportunity to attend the Spring Festival was a great way to spread Krsna Consciousness to hundreds of people who gathered at Monroe Street celebrating the community of Tallahassee. The warm smiles from all the devotee participants resonated with the crowd, cultivating joy and happiness, and leaving an impression on all who had the privilege of witnessing the mercy of Lord Jagannath.

The first Ratha Yatra of 2022 in Florida was a great success. Devotees from Alachua, Orlando, Tampa and Miami participated in the glorious chanting of the Holy Name during the enormously popular Gasparilla Parade which took place on January 29th in Tampa, FL. Despite the bitter cold (it was the coldest Gasparilla parade in history), devotees were blissfully chanting for more than 8 hours straight. Jai Jagganath!
