Every year, the Association hosts the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival for nine days in February.

Gallery and pavement shows, exhibitions, literary events, film screenings, music concerts, dance performances, theatre shows, workshops, heritage walks, a food fiesta, and a buzzing street festival bring in audiences and participants from all over the city. The Festival has grown in size and popularity, winning a reputation for its diversity and vibrancy, for the platform it gives to talent, and, heck, for being a fun place to be.

Its fans aren’t just in the city; creative people from all over the country want to participate and showcase their talent. And more recently, in addition to the tourists who time their visits to be able to catch the Festival, we’ve had guests from other parts of the world on stage as well.

This year is the Festival’s tenth edition.
