3-day ‘Chandigarh Carnival’ to begin from December 2
Administration of Chandigarh will be organising a three-day ‘Chandigarh Carnival’ full of fun rides, cool games & more exciting activities across the UT starting December 2
A three-day ‘Chandigarh Carnival’ being organised by Chandigarh administration is all set to go on floors from December 2 to December 4, with fun rides, cool games & more exciting activities across the UT. The carnival was discontinued in 2020 and 2021 due to Covid-19 pandemic.
With this year’s theme “Apna Shehar Apna Jashan ‘’, the tourism department is setting up amusement parks, and is organizing day-long cultural programmes including three ‘Mega Musical Nites’.
Along with a kite display event on December 3 and kite competition on December 4, a cultural programme at New Lake, Sector 42 is also being organized, wherein artists from different states including Gujarat, Assam, Sikkim, Manipur, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and others will perform. Morning Raga on December 3 and December 4 will be held at Botanical Garden and Sukhna Lake, respectively.
Tourism secretary Hargunjit Kaur said, “All the events, including the ‘Mega Musical Nites’ will be free of cost for the public. Every year, most of the events of the carnival were organized in Northern sectors but this time, events were organized across the city. Various tourism events are scheduled in December and early 2023, to attract tourists in the City Beautiful ‘’.
After a joyride crashing incident in Mohali in September this year, the UT Administration decided not to include any accidental-prone rides in the amusement parks this time.
Accidental Prone rides, including giant wheel, columbus boat, break dance, ranger, tower jhulla and others will not be installed for the safety of public/visitors.
