The Bollywood Bash is a first-of-its-kind event at Bowers Museum — a dazzling fusion of music, dance, fashion, and fine dining celebrating the colorful heritage of the Indian subcontinent.
This unique evening showcases the richness of Indian culture in all its glory, offering guests an immersive experience through live performances, gourmet Indian-inspired cuisine, and the chance to connect with the museum’s latest exhibition on India’s textile revolution.

Tiered access allows you to customize your experience:

• VIP guests enjoy early access beginning at 5 PM, including an exclusive reception and premier seating.
• Party ticket holders join the celebration at 8 PM with the full gala experience.

Dress to impress in Bollywood glam and be part of a historic night supporting cultural education and artistic exchange.

At Bowers Museum, we believe that a truly educated citizenry understands and appreciates global cultures through arts and education. Bowers stands as one of the only institutions in Orange County dedicated to providing multicultural and global arts education to both the general public and schools.

The Bollywood Bash is more than a party — it’s a celebration of this mission and a call to support cultural programs that promote understanding and connection across communities.

This event helps create, fund, and sustain vital cultural and arts educational programs accessible to everyone — programs that deepen appreciation for Indian culture and history, and inspire future generations.

The Bollywood Bash is the key fundraiser for Global Threads: India’s Textile Revolution and the related educational programming. It also punctuates Bowers Museum’s 90th anniversary year!

We aim to engage generations of South Asian Americans and the global South Asian diaspora, building meaningful connections while embracing all cultures and expanding public programs throughout Southern California and beyond.
