About Us

Welcome to the Malayalee Association of Greater Chicago (MAGC), a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich cultural heritage and traditions of Kerala, India. Founded by a group of passionate Malayalees in the Chicago area, our mission is to connect the past with the present, ensuring that future generations can appreciate and carry forward the unique traditions that define our community.
At MAGC, we believe in the power of culture to bring people together and foster a sense of identity and belonging. Kerala’s traditions are a vibrant tapestry of art, music, dance, literature, cuisine, and spirituality. Through our various programs and initiatives, we aim to celebrate this rich heritage and make it accessible to all.

Our vision is to be a beacon of cultural preservation and innovation within the Malayalee community in Greater Chicago. We envision a world where the traditional practices and values of Kerala are cherished, respected, and passed on to our future generations. By revitalizing and promoting these traditions, we seek to inspire a sense of pride and unity among Malayalees everywhere.

We engage in a variety of activities to support our mission, including:

• Cultural Events and Festivals: We organize traditional festivals and cultural events that showcase the music, dance, art, and food of Kerala. These events are open to the public and provide a platform for the community to come together and celebrate.
• Workshops and Classes: Our workshops and classes offer hands-on experiences in traditional arts and crafts, Chess Workshops, Soccer Camps etc. These programs are designed to engage people of all ages and skill levels.Our goal is to foster an appreciation for tradition among the younger generation.
• Community Outreach: We work with local Malayalee communities to support social and charitable causes, fostering a sense of unity and giving back to society.

We invite you to join our journey in preserving the unique traditions and culture of Kerala. Whether you’re interested in attending an event, volunteering, or simply learning more about our heritage, there’s a place for you at MAGC. Together, we can ensure that the rich legacy of Kerala continues to thrive and inspire.
