If you thought Diwali couldn’t get any more exciting, wait until you hear about the Chandigarh Diwali Carnival 2024! Imagine this: lights twinkling everywhere, your favorite festival food just steps away, and enough entertainment to keep you busy until next Diwali. It’s the kind of event where even your phone is like, “Can we please put down the camera and just enjoy this?” So, whether you’re coming for the fireworks, the shopping, or just the chance to stuff your face with samosas, let’s break down everything you need to know. Spoiler: You’re going to want to wear your loosest pants.

Chandigarh Diwali Carnival 2024 Venue and Date: Where the Magic Happens

Wondering where all the action is taking place? Look no further than Leisure Valley, Sector 10, Chandigarh. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love Leisure Valley? It’s basically Chandigarh’s go-to party spot—minus the bouncers and cover charges.

• Venue: Leisure Valley, Sector 10, Chandigarh
• Dates: October 27th – 29th, 2024

You’ve got three whole days to soak in all the carnival goodness. So, if you accidentally eat your weight in sweets on day one (we’ve all been there), you can still come back the next day for round two. And by “round two,” we mean more food, more shopping, and probably more food. Just pace yourself, okay?

Chandigarh Diwali Carnival 2024 Timings: From Firecrackers to Fireworks

If you belong to the category of people who like to increase their chances of finding the best spots at events, then prepare yourself. The carnival opens its doors at a precise hour of 10:00 AM, allowing you to be the first one in the queue for… well, almost everything! But if you are the media person who wants to come just in the afternoon and leave only after watching all the burning lights in the sky, the carnival has provisions for that as well.

From the 22nd till the 26th of October, 2024: 10:00 Am – 10:00 PM

That is a complete 12 hour period of simply eating, shopping and enjoying the different games in the carnival. But a word of caution: forget about any kind of entertainment, after about the sixth hour you will most likely become best friends with the food vendors. Don’t say we did not give a warning.

Chandigarh Diwali Carnival Activities: What You’re Really Here For

What is it at the Chandigarh Diwali Carnival that makes everybody go gaga? Ah just a little things like RIDES, PERFORMANCES, FIREWORKS, FOOD. Before you get too thrilled and run out to hire a rickshaw, let us explain in detail.

• Cultural Performances: Get ready to enjoy many traditional dances, songs and on stage action and engage even if you are not the best in keeping the beat. They will be so good that you will feel the need to mimic one of their dance moves. Lets pray that it will be in the comfort and within the four walls of your house. We all know how the dance move practiced in front of the mirror can be entertaining for all the wrong reasons.
• Shopping Extravaganza: One hundred temporary stalls will provide everything including items used to decorate houses for Diwali or ethnic clothes. Come with the right attitude if you can make it by along. You better take this warning as it will save you the embarrassment of carrying more than what you will even imagine buying worth clothes.
• Food Court Paradise: While talking of shopping, a special thanks should also be extended to the food court, which should not be left out – the real heroes. From chaat and desserts like jalebi to that deep fried ‘mystery’ item that is always there as if looking for trouble, everything is available. Trust us; you will be sleeping off the food bloat by the time you finish several activities at the carnival.
• Amusement Rides & Games: No matter if you are 5 years old or 55 years old, the rides will Pete every age group. The giant wheel? It is essential to go on it. The cabs with bumper cars? Always entertaining. And what do you know, if you are a little bit of an overachiever, go ahead, try your luck at the stalls. You never know, you might actually manage to get that large teddy bear – as long as you do not mind treating it like a bodyguard for the next couple of hours.
• Fireworks In Abundance: Let’s be honest with ourselves, it’s pressure from friends and family selves mostly that bring us here, to wait for the fireworks. Strap in the body cause get prepared for the jet full of colors you would only dream of when watching a Bollywood movie. The advantages? You do not have to be the privileged one who gets to launch them and risk of charred fingers!
• Parking: The Real Adventure
  If you have attended any large gathering, you are aware of the endless quest for parking. However, fear not, the Chandigarh Diwali Carnival has taken care of it. They have managed the parking superbly, and for a mere ₹50, you can park your car and enjoy the festivities.
• General Parking: ₹50 for the day (a small price to pay for avoiding parking lot chaos). VIP Parking: ₹200 (because let’s face it, the less walking you have to do after eating too many jalebis, the better). And in case you want to get all posh (or simply too posh to walk), shuttle service is available that can take you straight to the carnival from the parking lot. So ,no whining about parking troubles, just chill out and let the shuttle take you to the fun place.
