The Kala Ghoda Arts Festival is one of the many well-known events that occur every year in Mumbai. This festival was inaugurated in 1999, and it has evolved to be the biggest ethnic and multicultural festival in the city. Through the years, it has ramped up and attracted tens of thousands of people from both the city and the countryside. Watching this extravaganza of a fest is fascinating because of the enormous variety of events.
Every year, the Kala Ghoda Association organizes the festival. The festival is organized into 12 categories, including one for kids and divisions for visual arts, film, dance, theatre, music, workshops, literature, urban planning, and architecture.
The organization has been devoting all of its efforts on the job of preserving and conserving art in all of its forms. Since 1999, it has rendered this aim a priority by annually hosting this art event. Their objective is to promote multicultural understanding, particularly among individuals with limited access to and exposure to other cultures.
Events for Children:
This part of the KGAF allows children to escape the mundane world of homework and enter the fanciful world of storytelling, where a youngster on wheels and the Kashmiri queen can both be heroes. We also offer classes on the art of creating photo stories and fantasy writing for children who are interested in embracing their inner storyteller. The dedicated areas for children and young adults to indulge in their creative side while they paint, create, read, write, have fun, and learn are the lawns of the CSMVS Museum and Kitab Khana. Children's visual art works on the Museum lawns are a top draw.
Food Section:
Our section is devoted to everything delectable, and it features food walks on the weekends that highlight some of the area's best kept secrets as well as a series of master-chef seminars spotlighting various cuisines. Numerous nearby eateries offer a special KGAF themed menu with special foods selected for the festival that differ from their typical offerings.
Heritage Walk:
