The 25th edition of the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival (KGAF), Asia's largest street arts festival, has commenced in South Mumbai. Visitors will have the opportunity to experience a blend of art, performances, and cultural displays under one roof. The festival begins today (January 25) and will run until February 25.
This year's theme is 'Silver,' which will be reflected through cultural events, performances, and installations. Over 300 programs are scheduled across 15 categories and will be hosted at more than 25 venues, as reported by FPJ. From visual arts to theatre, literature, music, dance, and even stand-up comedy, there’s something for everyone.
The opening event, Silver Sitaare Fusion, will be a spectacular showcase of 25 distinct dance styles performed by 55 celebrated artists. For those interested in Mumbai's rich historical and architectural heritage, the first day of the festival will feature multiple Silver Trails — heritage walks designed to offer participants a glimpse into the city's vibrant past.
