If there's one thing the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival does best, it's keeping Mumbai on its creative toes. Now rolling into Day 4, the city's favourite cultural playground shows no signs of slowing down. Running daily from 10 am to 10 pm until February 8, the nine-day celebration continues to transform South Mumbai into a buzzing hub of ideas, performances, conversations, and colour.
Staying aligned with this year's theme, "Ahead of the Curve", Day 4 offers an eclectic mix from sustainable crafts and film screenings to comedy podcasts, fashion showcases, and soul-stirring music.
