A Walk Through History and Progress
Kankaria Carnival isn’t just about entertainment—it’s also a celebration of Ahmedabad’s journey. During the event, the Chief Minister shared how Kankaria Lake transformed from a simple zoo, known as Lake Kantha, into a vibrant cultural hub. Thanks to the efforts started in 2006 under then-Chief Minister Narendra Modi, Kankaria Lake is now the heart of Ahmedabad’s festivities and community events.
But that’s not all. The Chief Minister also announced 34 urban development projects worth ₹868 crores! These include new houses in Naroda, gymnasiums, gardens, and even a sewage treatment plant. It’s all about making life better for Ahmedabad’s residents while keeping the city’s heritage alive.
A Week of Joy and Fun
Running from March 25 to March 31, 2024, the carnival is packed with activities for everyone. Morning sessions will energize you with yoga, pranayama, and meditation. In the afternoons, get moving with aerobics and Zumba. And the evenings? They’re all about traditional Garba and Raas performances, mixed with music shows by artists like Dave and the Rabari Band.
If you’re into comedy, storytelling, or unique folk performances like diro, you’re in for a treat. Plus, there are competitions for singing, dancing, and comedy, giving local talent their time to shine.
Fun for Families and Foodies
Families will love the interactive activities, from life-sized board games and puppet shows to workshops and a selfie court. For food lovers, a special zone will offer a mix of local and international cuisines—so bring your appetite!
The Sabarmati Riverfront will add even more fun with rides like a Ferris wheel, a train, and an inflatable park. And don’t worry about safety—the organizers have set up first-aid stations, childcare facilities, and security measures to ensure everyone has a great time.
