To make sure that the citizens derive full benefit from this amazing shopping festival, the Ministry of Tourism and MTDC will set up MSF Night Bazaar, which will remain open till 4 am during weekends. This move has been taken within the purview of recent notification by the Maharashtra Government that stated establishments and shops can now remain open 24x7. However, the MSF Night Bazaar will be set up in certain zones, i.e., on January 19–20 at Malad and on January 26‒27 at Powai. As a matter of fact, numerous events will be held across the city during every weekend.
Mumbai will get to witness more than 500 performances across 13 different locations, such as Crawford Market, Bandra Bandstand, Khargar, Vashi Railway Station, TalavPali Thane, Shivaji Park, Worli Sea Face, Juhu Beach, Kalyan, Goregaon and Kandivili among others.
Food trucks have also been commissioned for this festival to make sure that shoppers remain fuelled during their retail therapy.
Speaking about this festival, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said, “For the very first time in India, your government is pleased to create a unique shopping experience to be held across the city of Mumbai, called the Mumbai Shopping Festival 2018. I am honoured and pleased to announce that this festival will be taking place from January 12-31, 2018, launching Mumbai as a world-class shopping destination. The theme of #MumBuyKar will epitomise the shopper in each Mumbaikar – especially with the new notification by our Government which permits shops and establishments to remain open 24X7”.
