One night. Eight teams. Twenty years of movement.
Twenty Years of Impact
From a student initiative to a community movement — Bhangra in the Burgh continues to celebrate culture and create change.
More Than a Competition
Bhangra in the Burgh is Pittsburgh's premier Bhangra competition run entirely by students from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh. Since 2007, the competition has been used as a vehicle to support and raise over $110,000 for local charities.
Overtime, we have built and grown the competition to become an important stage in the Bhangra circuit. We bring some of the best Bhangra teams from all over the nation to compete on stage in one night of music, dance, and celebration of South Asian culture!
Our story →Heart of Glass Animal Rescue
Bhangra in the Burgh uses the competition as a vehicle to raise money for a charity of our choice every year. This year, all proceeds will be going to Heart of Glass Animal Rescue — a rescue and sanctuary in Pittsburgh's Southside dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and re-homing animals, with special care for those often overlooked: elderly animals, those with special needs, and pets facing behavioral challenges.
