Things to Do in Ahmedabad This Week

There is something on in Ahmedabad every day of the week, and this page gathers all of it in one place, refreshed daily. Most ticketed shows happen in a handful of rooms: touring stand-up and plays at the Pandit Dindayal Upadhyay Auditorium in Bodakdev, Tagore Hall in Paldi and Thakorbhai Desai Hall at Law Garden, talks at the Ahmedabad Management Association, and exhibitions on the campus that holds the Kanoria Centre for Arts and Amdavad ni Gufa. Big-ticket nights go to Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera, the Sabarmati Riverfront grounds, the GMDC Ground and the convention halls of Gandhinagar. The outdoor season runs from October to March and is crowded with the city's signature events: nine nights of garba at Navratri, Diwali and the Gujarati New Year, the Kankaria Carnival in the last week of December, the Saptak music festival and the flower show in January, and Uttarayan, the kite festival, on 14 January. Gujarat is a dry state, so evenings out are built around food, shows and late-night markets such as Manek Chowk and Law Garden instead of bars. Use the filters to narrow by date, category, price or area, across both Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar.
