text: This was my first year attending the Festival of India in Charlotte To me it was lackluster and too expensive I have been to other cultural festivals in the area that were less expensive and more fun nn for parking to enter insidedo not waste your money as there is dancing music food and items for purchase on the street FYI Henna tattoos are inside but costs another The Henna work I paid for was only done on one finger and was sloppy I dished out too much money at this festival and will not be returning next year I will just go eat at an Indian restaurant instead
