The parade will be led by film stars, entertainers and dignitaries. The parade will culminate at the fairground across from Asa Mai Temple, where the electrifying atmosphere replete with entertainment stage and food and goodies stalls will welcome the crowds. Children’s carnival and games area will be free.
