Mango festival, Pitampura

Summers and mangoes go hand in hand as mango makes our sultry summers extremely succulent. One of Delhi's most popular events is the International Mango Festival which celebrates everything about the King of all tropical fruits, 'Mango'. The International Mango Festival is held every year at the Delhi Haat Pitampura in Delhi. Hosted by Delhi Tourism in alliance with the Delhi Government, this festival aims to showcase the specialities of mangoes from different states of India. Many other mango festivals are also held across India during the same time.

The International Mango Festival in Delhi features an array of recreational events and activities associated with mango, like mango eating competitions, quizzes, mango slogan writing, mango carving, children's shows, mango folk performances, mango tasting, and plenty of mangoes to go around with varieties of the fruit on display.
