Utah is home to multiple cultural societies.
The United States is known as the melting pot, as it is home to a diversity of immigrants and cultural innovations stemming from them. Utah is no exception to reflecting this, and is home to various cultural associations representing cultures from around the world.
Gujarati Cultural Association of Utah
The Gujarati Cultural Association of Utah is a non-profit charitable as well as cultural association. Its main dedication is to preserve and promote Gujarati culture in the United States. The association organizes educational, cultural and community activities.
