Events in Delhi NCR

Events in Delhi NCR

Looking for things to do in Delhi this weekend? Check District and BookMyShow for ticketed gigs and comedy, Luma and Meetup for community meetups, then fill the gaps with Delhi's free regulars: the Sunday book bazaar, heritage walks, and the talks and exhibitions at India Habitat Centre. This is a guide to where to look, not a live listing.

Find events in Delhi NCR through discovery apps and local listings, then filter by date and interest. The harder question, and the one almost no platform answers, is who you will actually meet when you get there.
