Kala Ghoda Arts Festival 2027: 30 January – 7 February

The Kala Ghoda Arts Festival 2027 runs from Saturday 30 January to Sunday 7 February, the festival has announced, with the theme 'MultipliCity'. Started in 1999 and organised by the Kala Ghoda Association, it is a nine-day, multi-arts festival held across the Kala Ghoda precinct in Fort, and entry to its events has always been free, limited only by the size of each venue. Rampart Row (K Dubash Marg) is closed to traffic and becomes a street of installations, craft stalls and food. Music and dance concerts take place at Cross Maidan and Horniman Circle Garden, and talks, films, theatre, literature sessions and children's events are spread across venues such as the CSMVS lawns, the National Gallery of Modern Art's auditorium, the David Sassoon Library garden and Jehangir Art Gallery. Heritage walks and workshops run through the week. The full 2027 programme had not been released when this page was last updated; it is normally published shortly before the festival opens. Weekends are extremely crowded, so weekday evenings are the better time to see the installations. Churchgate and CSMT stations and Hutatma Chowk on the Aqua Line are all within walking distance.
