☾ GUIDELINES AT EVERY JAI HO!
Creating a safe & celebratory space is our number one priority at every event we host.
We would love for you to be an accomplice of ours by greeting & treating everyone you meet like you would like to be treated. With equality, mutual respect, and a big smile. We know this does not apply to you because you are awesome but for the other people to whom this may be relevant, we have zero tolerance for bigotry, racist remarks, and generally reckless behavior.
Over the course of the night, Punjabi, Bollywood, South Indian songs, and music from across South Asia (new & old) will make their way into our DJs playlist. So contribute positively, uplift everyone around you, tip your bartenders well, and enjoy the music being played.

☾ LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We at Bollywood Dreams seek to practice deep regard and respect for the Indigenous Peoples on whose lands we have the opportunity to live, work, and play.
We acknowledge that the tribes in the Eugene area of the Willamette Valley were taken to Spores farm to live for a year until they removed to the Grand Ronde Indian Reservation in 1856. Some of the Yoncalla, members of the Halo family, chose to remain living around Yoncalla, and Cottage Grove, Oregon.
