What Is It?

Chikoo Festival is a annual soiree that happens at Dahanu-Bordi each year, inviting locals and tourists to come and experience the festival. In it sixth edition, it is being held over the long weekend {January 27-28}. Organised by MTDC, it aims to promote tourism in the area. Since chikoo the fruit is indigenous to the area. it only makes sense.

Who Is It For?

Anyone who wants to take a short but productive trip out of the city.

Why Should I Go For It?

Apart from chikoo plucking, there’ll be activities such as chikoo safari, visit to chikoo farms and a chikoo winery, learning to make dishes with chikoo and much more. The entry to the festival is free so all you need to do is take a train to Dahanu and chill. There’ll be a market to shop from and performances to enjoy too!

So, We're Saying...

This sounds like a lot of fun, especially if you do not have plans for the long weekend.
