The 31st annual FOG (Festival of Globe) Indian Day Parade and Fair took place over the weekend, with the Alameda County District Attorney's Office in attendance to celebrate unity within the community. The two-day event, held in Fremont, California, welcomed thousands of visitors to commemorate India's independence and appreciate the cultural diversity of the Bay Area. Fremont known for its rich ethnic tapestry, consists of over sixty percent Asian descent residents.

Parade floats represented various Asian countries, such as India, China, Nepal, Vietnam, and Burma, displaying the eclectic multicultural nature of the area. Among the distinguished attendees was Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price, who received a community service award for her efforts in fostering harmony throughout the county's diverse communities.

In a statement from Price, she expressed gratitude and appreciation for the AAPI community, "I am truly humbled to be honored by Alameda County’s AAPI community. It is heartening to see thousands of people come together to celebrate cultural diversity and inclusivity. Our Office is committed to safeguarding the rights of our Asian communities and all communities, and we approach this responsibility with a genuine spirit of friendship and solidarity."
