The fifth edition of India Fest next month will be an open air event with more activities representing many countries apart from India, organisers told Gulf News on Thursday.
The Indian Social and Cultural Centre (ISC), the largest social organisation of Indians in the capital, is organising the three-day event from December 4 to 6, which is expected to attract more than 30,000 visitors.
The 5,000 square metre ground will have scores of tents and stalls showing art, culture, cuisine and commercial items from various countries. The Municipality of Abu Dhabi City is the strategic partner of the festival, which is held with the support of the Indian Embassy in Abu Dhabi.

Natarajan, honorary president of the ISC, said. “It will be a different experience. Among the more than 100 food stalls, many will be of non-Indian cuisine, giving the visitors an international culinary experience,” he said…….[Rrad More]
