Mussoorie, The Queen of Hillsdecks up yet again to ring in 2019 on a high-note. For 6th year in a row, the five-day annual Mussoorie Winterline Carnival will be celebrated from December 25th to the 30th of the month.
With civic polls just over and budget constraints, the festival will be a mellowed version of its former past as the administration states, but promises not to disappoint those who come visiting.
Bigwigs of Bollywood have been dropped and the highlight will be on local artists and youth. “The idea was to continue the tradition of the carnival which is finally on a roll. Given the limited time span and budget, local administration is working around the constraints and trying to make it a success,” said SDM, Mussoorie Minakshi Patwal
Newly elected Chairman of Mussoorie, Anuj Gupta informed us that there would be no night events this time round, “the entire town will be lit up from Library to Mullingar. Small stages will be erected at famous landmarks of the town where artists will connect with locals and tourists during the day.”
A roaring success in the past, traditional food court on the Mall road will once again titillate your food buds.
While local authorities and organisers are leaving no stone unturned to ring in 2019. Hotels big and small are brushing up their act to welcome a host of tourists to make up for the lean winter months. As Sandeep Sawhney President, Uttarakhand Hotel Owner’s Association puts it, ‘There are lots of programmes lined up for the festive week. All major hotels in town are giving 2-3 day package with special meals along with music, dance and bonfire and the works.”
For those how are still undecided about where to head this New Year Eve, Mussoorie awaits your arrival.
