Celebrating Kannada language, culture and community in North Carolina.
Sampige Kannada Association North Carolina is a community-driven non-profit dedicated to preserving and promoting the Kannada language and the rich cultural heritage of Karnataka. Through cultural programs, festivals, Kannada Kali, youth activities and community service, we create a home away from home for Kannadigas in North Carolina.
We bring together families, students and professionals who share a love for Kannada. Our events are platforms for music, dance, theater, literature and traditions, while also giving the younger generation opportunities to learn, perform and lead.
Our long-term vision and the mission that guides our activities.
To nurture a vibrant Kannada-speaking community in North Carolina where the language, arts and values of Karnataka are celebrated, shared and passed on to future generations.
