Various cultural festivals celebrating traditional dance have taken place across Gujarat. In Ahmedabad, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation organized the ‘Kankaria Na Garba’ festival at Kankaria Lakefront, which drew over 30,000 attendees. The event featured traditional Gujarati folk dance and included ‘Divyang Garba’ performances to promote inclusivity for differently-abled participants.

In the Amreli district, two major festivals, ‘Kesariyo Sharadotsav’ and ‘Peele Patangiya Sharadotsav’, were held to celebrate Ras-Garba. The ‘Kesariyo Sharadotsav’ featured solar-themed decorations, while the ‘Peele Patangiya Sharadotsav’ in Savarkundla utilized modern technology such as a 500-foot LED screen. The latter event was organized to support the treatment of sick cows.
