Imagine a pitch black night sky dotted with a thousand lights – no, not stars, we mean lights, lanterns,
\nand fire! That\u2019s what this Sunday night is going to be all about. The Chandigarh sky will be lit like a

What \u00a0:<\/b> Chandigarh Urban Festival\u00a0Sky Lantern Evening
\nWhen :<\/b> March 25, 2018 | 4:30PM – 9:30PM
\nWhere:<\/b> People\u2019s Plaza, Capitol Complex, Sector 1<\/p>\n

They call Diwali the festival of lights. True. But nobody said we have to celebrate it only once a year,
\nright? That\u2019s why Chandigarh Urban Festival is hosting a sky lantern evening as part of its closing
\nceremony on Sunday, March 25. An estimated 1000 sky lanterns are going to be released by fellow
\nChandigarhians and if you want to be part of this celebration, then you need to head over here<\/a><\/b><\/span>\u00a0and register yourself now!<\/p>\n

The Chandigarh Urban Festival has been an ongoing celebration of the cultural diversity and urban
\narchitecture of the city beautiful, for the last two months. It was an endeavour undertaken by the Act!<\/p>\n

Chandigarh to create an interactive platform for citizens, academicians, students, politicians, and
\nbureaucrats to come together and debate, discuss, and celebrate the existence of Le Corbusier\u2019s
\nvisionary city, i.e. Chandigarh!<\/p>\n

The Festival will culminate with the Grand Carnival this Sunday, with a variety of programmes lined
\nup for a truly enriching experience. Starting with the Grand Open Hand March, which will be held at
\nJan Marg and will showcase 2400 performers – a mix of professional and amateur folk, classical,
\ncontemporary, and freestyle dancers and musicians. Carnival groups will be dressed up for
\nmasquerade, wearing wigs, masks, funky dresses, and painted faces. Here\u2019s a chance for a truly public
\ncelebration with elements of circusry for tricity residents to come in costumes and masks and join in
\nthe fun.<\/p>\n

Did you know that Le Corbusier had designed Jan Marg as a 100m wide ceremonial street for the
\npurpose of parades, carnivals, and grand ceremonies? Only that it was never used for its intended
\npurpose and has simply remained a common street to this day. Thus, for the very first time, by way of
\nthe Open Hand March, the Chandigarh Urban Festival will put this street to its actual use.<\/p>\n

The March will be followed by a coordinated release of sky lanterns at dusk by tricity citizens at the
\nPeople\u2019s Plaza in Capitol Complex. Participants are free to tie a written message with their sky lantern
\nand each lantern will be released by two people. Sky lanterns are traditionally a part of various Asian
\ncultures, launched at festivals and carnivals<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. This Sunday will be a true celebration of the UNESCO
\nWorld Heritage Site!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
