In the year 1985, what was started as a small group of like-minded Kannadigas, has grown to an organization that is 150+ families-strong today! Sangama has been proudly conducting four major events every year starting with Ugadi, the Kannada New year in April, followed by Father’s day picnic in June, the Ganesha festival in fall and the Karnataka Rajyotsava celebrated in the early winter. Sumptuous food is guaranteed at all these events. Sangama members have been fortunate to enjoy visits from innumerable number of well-known musicians, poets and artists. Many of these special concerts or events are co-hosted with Sangeetha and other organizations as Sangama feels a strong sense of community and likes to involve and open participation to other organizations as such. In the early 90’s, Sangama had organized a Midwest Kannada Conference in St. Louis which was a huge success.
