And the big bash included a bit of everything, including Loadshedding the Band, who Kidwai said entertained audiences with live music for over two and a half hours. The August 10 celebration also marked the first performance for the popular band in the Boston area. Loadshedding has previously played in places including New York, New Jersey, and the United Kingdom.
“They started off by playing Pakistan’s national anthem and many people from the audience sang along too,” Kidwai said. “They were excellent the whole time, everyone enjoyed them.”
DJ Lucky, a popular DJ from New York, also accompanied the band onstage during the event.
Music aside, the celebration also featured a slew of entertainment options for children. Various games, clowns, and babysitters were on hand during the August 10 event. Clothing, jewelry, and henna tattoo booths provided additional options for attendees.
