Navratri 2026 in Surat: Garba & Dandiya Nights

Sharad Navratri 2026 runs from Sunday 11 October to Monday 19 October, with Dussehra on Tuesday 20 October, and in Surat it is the biggest event season of the year. Garba happens at three scales. The premium grounds sell tiered tickets and season passes and bring in headline singers: Yashvi Navratri 3.0 at the C.B. Patel stadium parking ground in Abhva opened with Purva Mantri, with day-one tickets from ₹1,999 to ₹6,499, and The Global Garba Village at Balar Farm in Vesu sold season passes from ₹5,999 to ₹12,999. Restaurants and lawns on the Dumas Road run smaller ticketed nights at about ₹2,000. Then come community grounds such as Nilgiri Ground in Limbayat, where Zankar Navratri listed entry at ₹99 to ₹199, and free sheri and society garba in residential streets across the city. Gujarat allows loudspeakers until midnight during Navratri; after that garba continues on dhol and voice. The season spills over, too: Falguni Pathak is listed at the C.B. Patel ground on 22 October and a mandli garba at Advaitaa in Dumas on 24 October. In 2027 Navratri begins on Thursday 30 September, with Dussehra on Saturday 9 October.
