Sangeetha Kannada Koota of Minnesota, USA, started in 1976, is a cultural oriented organization which thrives by cultivating literary, educational, social, recreational and cultural activities for the Kannada community of Minnesota. It is a voluntary organization primarily run by donations and memberships from interested people.

KannadaKoota has a long way in achieving its objectives and in expanding its activities to new horizons. It also works closely with many other charity organizations to promote collection of funds for humanitarian causes. In its march into the 25th year, KK is a fully grown juvenile, nurtured and developed by great Kannada community of Minnesota.To bring a sense of festivity into otherwise routine lifestyle, four major festivals are celebrated as part of KK activities. These festivals are Sankrani, Yugadi, Ganesh Chathurti and Deepavali. These occasions set a stage for Kannada people to meet others of their own community and network. They also provide an opportunity for the children who are brought up here to inculcate many values these festivals bring along with them. Parents get an opportunity to involve themselves and their children in various KK activities and expose their children to the rich culture and traditions of Karnataka.

Apart from cultural get together, KK has its fun part also. The yearly picnic and sports day are the times for fun and games. They provide break from sluggish winter. The day is also a test of physical fitness and fun. Members get to participate in various games and avoid low fat food for a day.

In summary, KK's long history is entirely attributed to the dedicated people who have voluntarily taken responsibilities to sustain and grow the objectives of KannadaKoota. The involvement of every Kannadiga of Minnesota in KK's mainstream activities would only enhance and enrich Kannada's culture and the community's strength.
