Nepal Day
A yearly celebration of Nepali culture in Fair Lawn, New Jersey. Our founder, Rajendra Shrestha, was part of the team that started it in 2025.
One day for Nepali culture in New Jersey.
Nepal Day brings the Nepali diaspora in New Jersey together for an afternoon of food, music, dance and traditional dress, and invites our Fair Lawn neighbors to share in it.
It is organized by Nepal Day New Jersey, a community committee, and held at Memorial Park in Fair Lawn. The aim is simple: keep Nepali language, culture and traditions alive for the next generation growing up here.
