September 1, 2025 – New York, USA

The Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) has announced that its much-anticipated India Weekend in New York has been postponed due to unforeseen circumstances. Originally scheduled to be held from September 12 to 14, the event, which celebrates Indian music, crafts, theatre, fashion, and culinary traditions, will now be rescheduled, with new dates yet to be announced.

In a heartfelt statement shared on social media, Nita Ambani, founder and chairperson of NMACC, reassured fans and patrons that the postponement was temporary and the event would eventually take place. “The NMACC India Weekend is a dream very close to my heart – a celebration of Indian culture on the global stage,” she said. Emphasizing that this was not a cancellation but a pause, Ambani highlighted the team’s commitment to bringing the NMACC experience to New York at a later date.

The cultural centre has also announced that all ticket holders will receive a full refund, ensuring transparency and support for attendees affected by the schedule change.

Nita Ambani expressed gratitude to artists, sponsors, partners, guests, and well-wishers for their continued trust and support. “I am deeply grateful to every artist, guest, sponsor, partner, well-wisher, and all the friends of MACC for their trust and continued support,” she said, adding that the vision of NMACC remains strong: to bring the best of the world to India and showcase the best of India to the world.

The India Weekend in New York was intended to be a vibrant celebration of India’s rich heritage and contemporary creativity. Over the last few months, Nita Ambani was actively involved in curating the event, including meeting with Michelin star chef Vikas Khanna to design a unique culinary experience for attendees. The festival was set to highlight India’s diverse arts and crafts, traditional performances, fashion showcases, and modern interpretations of Indian culture, creating a platform for global audiences to engage with India’s artistic excellence.

While fans and patrons may feel disappointed by the postponement, Ambani’s statement carried a tone of optimism and anticipation. “We will return with renewed joy, pride, and purpose. Thank you for your love and encouragement – it strengthens our resolve and fills us with hope for the day we can finally celebrate together,” she added.

The NMACC India Weekend has been envisioned as a cultural bridge connecting India to the world, offering a global stage to showcase the country’s talent and creativity. Even as unforeseen circumstances have temporarily delayed the festivities, Nita Ambani’s commitment ensures that the event will go ahead with the same energy and grandeur once the new dates are finalized.

With the NMACC’s dedication to cultural excellence and global engagement, fans can look forward to a spectacular celebration of Indian culture in New York in the near future.
