Durga Puja, Dussehra and Diwali fall in October and November 2026, Lohri and Republic Day open 2027, and Holi follows on 22 March.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many guides still carry last year&#8217;s details.

Get a venue wrong and you lose an evening.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This guide covers the major public festivals and annual fairs, not every local event.

Durga Puja is free. Republic Day needs a ticket (\u20b9100 or \u20b920 in 2026), and Diwali and IITF suit shoppers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Key Takeaways<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lunar dates shift every year, and not in one direction.

In 2026 the puja runs from Shashthi on 16 October to Dashami on 21 October, according to the CR Park community portal. Ashtami on 19 October is the main day, and Dashami is immersion day, with an afternoon procession.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The portal counts more than ten pandals and puts footfall above 500,000 across the five days. Those are its figures, not official ones. Pandals are free, and bhog is usually served around 1 to 2 PM.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It suggests evenings, roughly 6 to 10 PM, for the lights and crowds. For transport, take the Magenta Line to Nehru Enclave, about 1.1 km away. Leave the car at home.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Dussehra and Ramlila<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dussehra falls on 20 October, the tenth day of Navratri. Ramlila performances run for days and end with Ravan Dahan, the burning of giant effigies. Each committee sets its own venue and timing, and our Delhi in October guide lists the main grounds.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Diwali markets<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diwali is on 8 November 2026, with Dhanteras two days earlier. Markets get busy in the week before. A Diwali Bazaar is listed at Dilli Haat INA, but we could not confirm its 2026 dates. Firecracker rules change every year, so read the current government order before planning anything around fireworks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Chhath Puja and Guru Nanak Jayanti<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chhath Puja is a four day observance, running from 13 to 16 November in 2026. The Delhi government&#8217;s holiday list marks 15 November as the main day. Events are community run. Follow local announcements for venues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guru Nanak Jayanti is on 24 November 2026. Delhi Tourism says a Nagar Kirtan procession leaves Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib the day before, led by the Panj Pyare. Gurdwaras begin their rituals around 4 AM. Cover your head, and expect to be offered langar.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Republic Day, Beating Retreat and Independence Day<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>How the 2026 Republic Day parade worked<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The parade is held on 26 January on Kartavya Path, the road many people still call Rajpath. It was renamed in September 2022. The 2026 arrangements below are a guide for 2027, not confirmed rules, because tickets, timings and closures are announced each year.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tickets cost \u20b9100 and \u20b920.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sales ran from 5 to 14 January, online on the Aamantran portal (aamantran.mod.gov.in) or at counters.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visitors needed the original government photo ID used for booking.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kartavya Path was closed to traffic until the parade ended, with no crossing between Vijay Chowk and India Gate until 2 PM.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Delhi Metro started services at 3 AM on 26 January 2026, and guides pointed visitors to Udyog Bhawan and Central Secretariat stations.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Beating Retreat and Independence Day<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beating Retreat closes the Republic Day season. In 2026, the main show on 29 January cost \u20b9100 and the rehearsal on 28 January cost \u20b920. On 15 August the Prime Minister hoists the flag at the Red Fort, and terraces across the city fill with kites.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Delhi Tourism has also held a kite festival in January. The 2014 edition was at Golden Jubilee Park, and in other years reports place it on the Palika Bazaar lawns at Connaught Place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mind the string. Glass coated kite string killed three people in Delhi on Independence Day in 2016, and the city banned Chinese manjha afterwards. On a two wheeler, slow down near open grounds that day.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Lohri, Holi and Eid<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lohri, on 13 January, is a Punjabi bonfire festival. Holi falls on 22 March 2027, with Holika Dahan the evening before, so the bonfire comes first and the colours follow the next day. Eid-ul-Fitr follows the moon. The exact day is announced late. Our Delhi in March guide covers Holi in more detail.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Mango Festival and Phool Walon Ki Sair<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>International Mango Festival<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Delhi Tourism&#8217;s Mango Festival ran from 3 to 5 July 2026 at Dilli Haat Janakpuri, according to news reports. One report counts more than 400 varieties, and one listing puts entry at \u20b920 for adults. Past editions used other venues, so 2027 needs a fresh check.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Phool Walon Ki Sair in Mehrauli<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This flower sellers&#8217; festival dates to the early 19th century, under Akbar Shah II. A procession stops at the Yogmaya Temple and ends at the dargah of Qutbuddin Bakhtiyar Kaki, about a 20 minute walk apart. The Anjuman Sair-e-Gul Faroshan has organised it since the 1962 revival.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 2025 edition was called off over a venue permission dispute, and later reports say the Lieutenant Governor cleared the way. We found no confirmed date for the next edition.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Fairs and melas in Delhi<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>India International Trade Fair<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ITPO has announced the 45th India International Trade Fair for 14 to 27 November 2026 at Bharat Mandapam, under the theme Vikas aur Virasat. Its own event list shows a 13 November start. Expect state pavilions, handicrafts and daily cultural programmes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2025, tickets were sold through the DMRC Sarthi app and select metro stations, with none at the gate. Check ITPO for the 2026 arrangement.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Surajkund, garden festivals and the Qutub Festival<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surajkund Crafts Mela is held in February in Faridabad, Haryana, outside Delhi. Delhi&#8217;s own February events include the India Art Fair and the Garden Tourism Festival, and ticket details vary by year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Qutub Festival stages classical music and dance at the Qutub complex. Guides place it anywhere from October to December, so treat it as unscheduled until announced.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Food and music festivals<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Private events move around. According to press reports, the Grub Fest ran on 28 and 29 September 2024 at JLN Stadium, and on 3 and 4 October 2026 at NSIC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Older pages mention the ICCR&#8217;s Delhi International Jazz Festival at Nehru Park, but the latest edition we found was from 2016. A Time Out listing places the 6th World Jazz Festival at Audi 2, Bharat Mandapam, on 17 April 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>A planning example: arriving on 24 January 2027<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a planning example built from 2026 patterns, not a customer story. A family lands in Delhi on 24 January 2027 and wants to see the parade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2026, ticket sales closed on 14 January. A family that starts on 20 January would very likely be too late, so the first job is to check the Aamantran portal before booking flights. If tickets are gone, Beating Retreat at the end of January is the fallback.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Older relatives are better off with a ticketed seat than a spot near the route. Keep the morning free of other plans, because roads close early.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Festivals matched to travellers<\/b><\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th><b>If you like<\/b><\/th>\n<th><b>Go for<\/b><\/th>\n<th><b>Why<\/b><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bengali culture and food<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Durga Puja, CR Park<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Free pandals and bhog at most pandals<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shopping<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IITF, Diwali markets<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">State pavilions and handicraft stalls<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heritage<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phool Walon Ki Sair, Qutub Festival<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mehrauli and Qutub complex settings, when they run<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Community and faith<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guru Nanak Jayanti<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nagar Kirtan and free langar<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">National ceremony<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Republic Day, Independence Day<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kartavya Path and the Red Fort<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Families with children<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dussehra grounds, IITF<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open grounds, performances and pavilions<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3><b>Best fairs and festivals of Delhi for first time visitors<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our pick is Durga Puja in Chittaranjan Park.

Ltd., a destination management company with its registered office in Lajpat Nagar, New Delhi. Its About page says the company has operated for 33 years. The site offers Delhi sightseeing packages and overnight excursions. It also publishes guest testimonials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want help with closed roads, crowd timings or a guide for a festival day, email tours@shikhar.com with the festival name and your dates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedelhitours.com\/blog\/places-to-visit-in-delhi-with-family\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Places to Visit in Delhi with Family<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>FAQs<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>What are the main festivals in Delhi?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Durga Puja, Dussehra, Diwali, Holi, Eid, Lohri, Guru Nanak Jayanti, Christmas, Republic Day and Independence Day are the biggest. The Mango Festival, Phool Walon Ki Sair and IITF are well known fairs. Dates for lunar festivals change each year, so use a current calendar.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>When is Diwali in Delhi in 2026 and 2027?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diwali is on 8 November 2026 and 29 October 2027. Dhanteras falls two days earlier, on 6 November 2026 and 27 October 2027. Markets in Delhi get busy about a week before the main day, so plan any shopping early in that week.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>When is Dussehra in 2026 and 2027?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dussehra is on 20 October 2026 and 9 October 2027. Navratri begins on 11 October 2026 and 30 September 2027. Ramlila performances run through Navratri and end with Ravan Dahan, the burning of effigies, on Dussehra evening at many grounds.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>When is Durga Puja in Chittaranjan Park in 2026?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It runs from Shashthi on 16 October to Dashami on 21 October 2026, with Ashtami on 19 October as the main day. Entry to the pandals is free, and bhog is usually served around 1 to 2 PM, so plan your visit around that.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Which festivals in Delhi are free?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Durga Puja pandals and gurdwara langar are free. Entry to Dussehra grounds varies by committee, so check the poster at each ground. Ticketed events include the Republic Day parade, Beating Retreat and IITF, which sell tickets through official channels only.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Where is the Republic Day parade held in Delhi?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Kartavya Path, formerly Rajpath. The road was renamed in September 2022. Start times and road closures are announced each year, and in 2026 the road stayed closed to traffic until the parade ended, so check the official advisory before you travel.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How much is a Republic Day parade ticket?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2026, tickets were \u20b9100 and \u20b920, sold online on the Aamantran portal or at counters from 5 to 14 January. Carry the original government photo ID used for booking. Prices for 2027 are not announced yet, so check the portal in early January.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>When is Holi in 2027?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Holi falls on Monday, 22 March 2027, and Holika Dahan is the evening before, on 21 March. In 2026, Holi was on 4 March. Public celebrations get crowded, so organised events are easier for visitors, especially families and older travellers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>When is the International Mango Festival in Delhi?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is held in early July by Delhi Tourism. The 2026 edition ran from 3 to 5 July at Dilli Haat Janakpuri, according to news reports. Past editions used other venues, so check Delhi Tourism for the 2027 dates and location before you go.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What is Phool Walon Ki Sair?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a flower offering festival in Mehrauli that dates to the early 19th century under Akbar Shah II. Offerings go to the Yogmaya Temple and the Qutbuddin Bakhtiyar Kaki dargah. The 2025 edition was cancelled over a permission dispute, so check the next date.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Which Delhi fair is best for shopping?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IITF, announced by ITPO for 14 to 27 November 2026 at Bharat Mandapam, has state pavilions and handicrafts. In 2025, tickets were sold through the DMRC Sarthi app and select metro stations, with none at the gate. Check ITPO for 2026 ticketing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Is Surajkund Mela in Delhi?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No. Surajkund Crafts Mela is held in February in Faridabad, Haryana, just outside Delhi. Delhi&#8217;s own February events include the India Art Fair and the Garden Tourism Festival. Check dates and tickets each year, since both change, and plan it as a separate trip.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Plan your Trip to the Festivals in Delhi<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a first visit, pick Durga Puja or Republic Day, and book the ticketed ones early. Dates marked calendar based or not announced need a second check closer to travel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To plan around a festival with a guide or driver, email tours@shikhar.com with the festival and your dates. For month plans, read our guides to Delhi in October and Delhi in March.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedelhitours.com\/blog\/light-and-sound-show-at-red-fort\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Light &amp; Sound Show at Red Fort<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedelhitours.com\/blog\/night-club-in-delhi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Best Nightclubs in Delhi<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedelhitours.com\/blog\/unusual-things-to-do-in-delhi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Unusual Things To Do In Delhi<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedelhitours.com\/blog\/weekend-getaways-from-delhi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Best Weekend Getaways from Delhi<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedelhitours.com\/blog\/famous-food-places-in-delhi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Famous Food Places in Delhi<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedelhitours.com\/blog\/change-of-guard-ceremony\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Change of Guard Ceremony<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The fairs and festivals of Delhi fill almost every month, and the dates move.
