Ratha yatra 2026
Join us this Ratha Yatra 2026!
We’re thrilled to invite you to the 2026 Country Style Ratha Yatra at beautiful Gita Nagari
On Saturday, July 25th, 2026
Chant! Dance! Feast!
For the pleasure of Their Divine Lordships Sri Jagannatha, Sri Baladeva and Srimati Subhadra!
Last year there were over 500 attendees at the Ratha Yatra. It continues to be one of our biggest festivals. This year we hope to exceed that number with even more participants, more kirtan, more prasadam, cow cuddling and a series of Gopi Games! However, we need your help, so please bring your hearts and voices and stomachs to gorgeous Gita Nagari on Saturday, July 25th, so that we can celebrate Krishna along with His devotees and cows and peacocks.
Our dear friend and supporter Sriman Rajendra Patel Prabhu, along with his family and friends, have again volunteered to donate and prepare a grand feast. His love for feeding Vaisnavas is legendary!
Your generous donations are still needed in order to make this festival a spiritual success. We expect the festival to cost at least $6,000. Please donate by clicking here. A PayPal account is not required. You can donate using a credit card or by mailing a check to 534 Gita Nagari Rd, Port Royal PA, 17082. Please make checks payable to ISKCON Gita Nagari, and include “Ratha Yatra” in the memo. We thank you for your support.
We are inviting all vendors, including prasadam vendors, to express their interest by clicking here and filling out this form.
There is limited accommodation available by here.
The parade begins at noon and access to Gita Nagari’s entrance gate will be temporarily closed at noon so please come early to park your car!
Please use the above link to make a donation contribution! We are forever grateful!
