This art festival has something of interest for everybody, be it an art lover, a music lover or a dance enthusiast. Kala Ghoda Festival is a great way to immerse yourself in the creativity of this city.

What’s so special about this year’s KGAF is that it is celebrating its 20 years of inception. “20 years ago Kala Ghoda Association was formed with the idea of giving back to the city and the festival was an organic extension of this idea,” says Nicole Mody, festival co-ordinator, KGAF 2019, who is presenting the 20th edition of Mumbai’s most loved festival. “By bringing art, culture and heritage to the people, KGAF has revolutionised the way people engage with art—taking outside of the confines of a gallery and bringing to the street.” This year’s KGAF will also pay a tribute to Mahatma Gandhi as the country celebrates 150 years of his birth anniversary. Besides the incredible installations, KGAF is also has plenty in store for all food lovers.
