Events in Mumbai

Looking for things to do in Mumbai this weekend? Check District and BookMyShow for gigs, comedy and plays, Luma and Meetup for community meetups, then add Mumbai's free regulars: Kala Ghoda's galleries, the Bandra promenades, and a morning trail at Sanjay Gandhi National Park. This is a guide to where to look, not a live listing.

Find events in Mumbai 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.

This weekend: how to find what is on in Mumbai
