GCA also organizes one of the most awaited cultural program of the bay area every year where lots of kids and adults get chance to showcase their talents in front of other community members.
For past couple of years, GCA has started organizing the celebration of Kite Festival also known as Sankrant every year in the month of January where kites and threads are imported from India and made available to community members at extremely reasonable rates.
