Like the proverbial snowball that grows and grows as it
rolls along, "Lokhandwala Street Festival" in a couple of weeks has
gained immense popularity, drawing large crowds, and spreading the mantra of
fit and healthy living.
The event saw the presence of Arjun Kapoor, Raj
Thackeray, Karanvir Bohra, Jeetendra Thackeray, Shalini Thackeray, Siddharth
Kannan, Piya Valecha .
Mr. Surjeet Singh Dadiala & Mrs Shalini Thackeray
says, “In this internet age our citizens are well educated, well-informed, and
their expectations are accordingly high. Lokhandwala Street Festival met their
inherent desire to engage in fitness and cultural activities, in an enjoyable,
safe, outdoor setting. Other free street events focus on sports and fitness
alone, Lokhandwala Street Festival gives opportunity to people to engage in
performing arts and entertainment also.”
The 3 km stretch of well-maintained concrete roads were
freed from vehicular traffic and opened up for not just local residents but
also to many who come from faraway locations.
As many as more than 50 activity stations including Yoga,
Zumba, Rock Climbing, Creative arts, etc. simultaneously engage crowds of
around 5000.
It is not all fun and frolic though. There is intense
planning, promotions, and organizing activities going on round the clock to
stage the biggest event that has hit the suburbs.
With word spreading about the event far and wide across
social media and news media, the organizers won’t be surprised if the event is
recognized all over Mumbai.
