Adding to the festive ambience, the evenings will feature live track music, while children can enjoy various games and competitions. A family-friendly environment has been created, encouraging visitors to spend the entire day exploring and enjoying the fair.

Speaking at the inauguration, the organisers said, “This year’s fair is even more diverse. We are introducing new products and creating an ambience for customers to enjoy the experience. We urge the public to turn up in large numbers and make full use of the opportunity.”

With the successful launch, the Kadri Park wine fair is set to attract large crowds over the next two days, reaffirming its position as one of Mangaluru’s most popular lifestyle events.
