Bollywood star Jugal Hansraj will serve as Grand Marshal at Boston’s 4th International India Day Parade, on Aug. 10 at the Boston Harbor.

Hosted by the Foundation of Indian-Americans (FIA), the parade will witness participation from over 20 countries, in a show of global unity. This year's celebration is set to be the organization’s most diverse and dynamic event so far, as per Sanjay Gokhale, Media Executive of FIA-NE.

Describing the event as a celebration of "the spirit of liberty and freedom", Hansraj said, "I'm deeply honored to be your Grand Marshal for the 4th International India Day Parade 2025 hosted by FIA New England."

Themed, 'United World, Shared Dream: Peace, Prosperity & Progress,' the day will be a tribute to visionary leaders across nations and generations.

Inspired by the legacies of President George Washington, the founding father of the United States, and Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, one of India’s most revered freedom fighters, the event highlights the enduring bond between the two great democracies.

FIA will also commemorate the 150th Birth Anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. A dedicated float will be featured in his honor, symbolizing unity and national integration—values he championed throughout India’s freedom struggle.

The day would feature decorated parade floats, a roundtable discussion with celebrities and dignitaries, flag hoisting ceremonies honoring veterans, seniors, and community leaders, scholarship awards to exemplary youth, marching bands and cultural performances.
