What an incredible day we had celebrating 33 years of Uzbekistan’s independence together! The Uzbek American Association of Chicago was thrilled to bring our community together on August 31st for a day full of joy, laughter, and tradition.
We kicked things off with an amazing car parade that filled the streets with Uzbek pride! Seeing everyone come together, waving flags and honking in celebration, was truly special.
A big shoutout to our local favorites— @Milliyfamilyrestaurant ,Chinar,@shahirizada_restaurant, Lazzat Chicago and @ @grillexpress_chicago —for filling our tables with the tastiest Uzbek dishes! You guys made it a true feast.
And we can’t forget our awesome photographer Alena Toropov, who captured all the fun and festive moments perfectly! Thanks for helping us keep these memories alive.
A special thank you to @arezoo_raqs for the national dance that added even more vibrancy to our celebration.
To everyone who joined us: Thank you! Let’s keep celebrating our beautiful culture and supporting each other. We can’t wait for the next one!
