The resolution designates the second weekend in April of each year as Vaisakhi Weekend in New Jersey, recognizing the significance of this holiday within the Sikh community. Vaisakhi, which typically falls on April 13th or 14th, is a major Sikh celebration that commemorates the unification of Sikhs by Guru Gobind Singh in 1699 and marks the establishment of the Khalsa, a community of baptized Sikhs adhering to a spiritual code. The holiday is celebrated through various cultural activities, including attending gurdwaras for worship and participating in langar, a communal meal prepared by volunteers.

By officially recognizing Vaisakhi Weekend, the resolution aims to honor the contributions of the Sikh community to New Jersey's cultural diversity and social fabric. It calls upon the Governor to issue an annual proclamation for the observance of this weekend, encouraging public officials and citizens to engage in appropriate activities and programs that celebrate the values of equality and community inherent in Sikhism.
