The Mumbai Festival, launched in 2005, was the first attempt to develop a community based festival for the city of Mumbai. The Mumbai Festival takes place in the month of January.

It is a unique model of public private partnership under which NGO’s, Private parties, Government and related Authorities work cohesively. Mumbai, India’s commercial and entertainment capital has an impact on the people who live here, their sense of place, identity and values.

The Mumbai Festival aims to help keep the citizens of Mumbai feeling positive about where they live tuned in to their city’s public life.

The Mumbai Festival provides an annual opportunity:-

• To convey a positive message about Mumbai to a wider world, raising its profile and image to attract tourists and potential investors in the city.
• For the wider world to engage with the artistic and business communities of Mumbai, allowing a platform to convey information and positive images to the diverse and dynamic Indian society.
