| The Mumbai Festival, showcasing a pot pourri of Indian heritage, culture, arts, food, sports, films and music, would be held in the metropolis from January 7 to 16.
The festival aims at putting Mumbai on the international festival circuit, to act as a major catalyst for tourism in Mumbai and create an opportunity for all Mumbaikars to come together and celebrate the spirit of Mumbai, Prakash Wahankar, spokesperson for the festival, said.
Organised by `Tourism Cooperative', the festival is being supported by the Maharashtra Government, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, and a host of organisations related to art and culture, he said.
