The 2013 edition of Indian Summer Festival was shaped by a new guiding phrase: Where Worlds Meet. Over ten vibrant days, we brought together ideas, literature, and geopolitics alongside fine food, music, and celebration.

Audiences across Vancouver engaged deeply with South Asia—sharing stories, discovering new voices, and forging connections. Indian Summer continues to be a space where the mind and senses are equally nourished.

This year marked a turning point. The festival’s foundation grew stronger than ever, with record-breaking attendance, widespread media coverage, and enthusiastic engagement from a growing, diverse audience.

At its heart, Indian Summer remains a place for dialogue—where cultures intersect, perspectives evolve, and creativity invites us to imagine the world not only as it is, but as it could be.
