Mumbai is getting ready for Navratri 2026, with Garba and Dandiya events planned across the city and neighbouring suburbs. From Falguni Pathak's nine-night celebration at BKC and Kinjal Dave's performances in Borivali to large-scale events in Ghatkopar, Thane and Navi Mumbai, there are options for both traditional Garba enthusiasts and those looking for a more entertainment-focused night.
Sharad Navratri begins on October 11, 2026, while different organisers are scheduling Garba celebrations through October 19 and, in some cases, October 20.
Here is a look at some of the major Mumbai Navratri events in 2026, including celebrity-led Garba nights, ticket prices, last-minute availability and how to reach the venues.

Before the main Navratri celebrations begin, The White Garba featuring Kinjal Dave is scheduled for October 4 at DOME, SVP Stadium.

Nearest railway station: Mahalaxmi
Nearest Metro: Acharya Atre Chowk
Parking: Parking arrangements can vary by event. A recent venue guide for DOME advised public transport/car-pooling and identified paid parking options nearby.
There are traditionally many society, mandal and community Garba events across Ghatkopar, Kandivali, Malad, Vile Parle, Dadar and other Gujarati-heavy neighbourhoods.
Community celebrations are often announced locally and through housing societies rather than large ticketing platforms. Readers should therefore check local society/mandal announcements before travelling.
This guide deliberately does not label an event "free" unless the organiser or a reliable event listing confirms free entry.
