Representing Delhi’s cosmopolitan culinary culture will be Yeti – The Himalyan Kitchen, Dom Dom Biryani serving Kolkata specialities, Kathputli, Culinary Pitaara and the Indian Catering Company with a wide range of vegetarian fusion food.

A festival that celebrates Delhi cannot skimp on music, Art, Theatre, Dance or Poetry and to mesmerise and enchant visitors there will be soulful yet energizing performances of Sufi music, fusion of traditional sufi and folk by the popular Nizami Brothers, Bally Sagoo, Copy Cats, Tritha and DillikiBilli Collective. Urdu storyteller- Fouzia Dastango, Improvised dancer – Parvati Tampi and Kathak Dancer – Reetu Jain will be performing at the festival.

A festival cannot be complete with some exciting shopping options, right? A vast array of curated flea shops will bring to life the spirit of Meena Bazaar right here with assorted attractions offering traditional and ethnic designs, specialty henna, ittars, authentic aromatic spices and the choicest bangles. The festival will have something for everyone be it the foodie, arty kind or the shopaholic. So come and celebrate being a dilliwala in true dilliwala style.
