Connecting the Konkani community across New England through culture, tradition, and togetherness.
About KONE
Konkanis of New England (KONE) is a community organization that brings together Konkani families and individuals living throughout New England, especially the Greater Boston area.
The organization celebrates Konkani culture by organizing social and cultural events where people can meet, reconnect, and enjoy traditions together — the food, the music, the language, and the festivals that shaped the places our families came from.
KONE provides a welcoming environment for families, friends, and community members to celebrate festivals, enjoy performances, and strengthen connections within the Konkani community.
To bring the Konkani community of New England together through cultural celebrations, family events, and shared traditions.
To preserve and celebrate Konkani culture while fostering meaningful connections among families and future generations.
