What's happening in
Rajkot is famous for its vibrant festival culture, where millions gather to celebrate two monumental cultural celebrations: the world-renowned Janmashtami Lok Mela and the nine nights of Navratri Garba.
The Janmashtami Lok Mela, held annually over five days at the Race Course Ground, is the largest folk fair in Gujarat. Attracting over one million visitors from across Saurashtra, the entire Race Course is filled with towering giant wheels, traditional merry-go-rounds, folk dance stages, handicraft stalls, and street food vendors. It is a celebration of rural and urban Saurashtra culture, with visitors dressed in colorful traditional attire.
During Navratri, Rajkot’s party plots and club grounds along Kalawad Road and 150 Feet Ring Road come alive with traditional Garba and modern Dandiya Raas. Dancers dressed in mirror-work Chaniya Cholis and embroidered Kediyus perform high-energy Dodhiya, Tran Taali, and Sanedo to live folk music.
Planning your visit in advance for both festivals is essential due to high demand. Explore festival schedules, book verified Garba passes, and navigate event locations in Rajkot on Tykkit.
