Mohandas K. Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869. Since 1999, we have celebrated with a free, public, multicultural event.
The program includes musical and dance performances; prayers, speeches, and chanting from a cross-section of Utah's religious leaders; the ceremonial planting of a tree; and the main event, the presentation of the annual Gandhi Peace Award to an individual recognized for their contributions in the areas of nonviolence, human rights, and peaceful resolution of conflict.
