Thank you Sandwell Police West Midlands Police Birmingham Police we really appreciate your continued support 👏 Council of Sikh Gurdwaras Birmingham

Thousands came together yesterday (18 May) to take part in the annual Vaisakhi Nagar Kirtan procession - a vibrant celebration of Sikh heritage and community spirit 🧡

The event saw people walking between gurdwaras in Hockley in Birmingham and Oldbury in Sandwell, with the streets filled with colour, music and joy.

We're pleased to say the event passed safely and smoothly, thanks to the co-operation of the public, organisers, and our partners across local councils, the ambulance and fire services.

Our Sikh Association officers played a key role in supporting the event, helping to strengthen community links and ensure everyone felt welcome and safe 🫶

Our officers were out along the route to support the event, help manage road closures and engage with attendees.

A huge thank you to everyone who planned ahead, followed advice and celebrated safely.

| It’s the annual Vaisakhi nagar kirtan procession this Sunday (18 May).

The event will see people walking from gurdwaras in Hockley in Birmingham, to Oldbury in Sandwell.

Together with councils, we’ve been working with the organisers, the fire and ambulance services, and other partners, on the safety and security plans for the event.

The nagar kirtan runs from 9.30am-4.30pm, but the safety and security operation runs before and after the event, with road closures in place from 8.30am.

To minimise disruption, organisers will reopen the roads as soon as the procession has safely moved on. Roads will only be closed for as long as is absolutely necessary, but journeys in the area will be disrupted.

Here’s our advice on making the event a day to remember:

• Plan your journey - use the bus or train to avoid traffic jams and road closures near the high street’s gurdwaras and park https://orlo.uk/d23wP
• If you must drive, give yourself plenty of time for your journey and park legally and considerately – you may be fined or your car towed away if you do not https://orlo.uk/IIZqS
• Do not leave anything on display in your car and follow our car security advice https://orlo.uk/3t7vg
• – if you see or hear something which doesn’t feel right, report it to security or police straight away. Do not wait for someone else to do it. In an emergency, always call 999 https://orlo.uk/oE1Dp
