"Rathayatra is the International Society for Krishna Consciousness biggest street festival. Don’t miss the spectacular grand procession of the enormous Jagannatha Chariot at 10.30am on Sunday from Victoria Square to the Bullring and back again, followed by a free festival in Victoria Square at 12:30 pm (with traditional dance, music and drama, meditation area, market stalls and a free vegetarian feast,). Young and old can expect a great day of spectacle, participation and enjoyment. The Ratha Yatra festival is perhaps the oldest continuously celebrated spiritual festival in the world.

People of all nations and faiths are invited to join in this festival “for the soul”..........." iskconbirmingham.org/ratha-yatra-2013
