<\/a>The frenzy on Monday was comparable to the December 31 night here in 2019. It seemed that every app based cab and Metro passenger was headed this way. I visited for a short while and I was mesmerized by the joyous crowds and the merry making. People of all ages were present and they were having a gala time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a>Christmas means food and if you want your share of Christmas goodies, there\u2019s no better place than the Festival! The length of Park Street and Allen Park and lined with tens of food stalls serving up baked goods, homemade treats, warming snacks and more. You\u2019ll get food that you won\u2019t otherwise throughout the year \u2014 Christmas cake tops that list!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a>The whole length of Park Street was decked out in fairy lights, tuni bulbs and Christmas-themed lighting. After the sun sets, the lights come on ( it gets dark around 5:20 pm) and it\u2019s absolutely magical. The lights are already up so go check them out {they come on about post 4:30 pm} for an Insta-worthy view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Park Street is literally the most lit thing in the city of Joy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want the whole experience, hit the road on Christmas eve. Parts of Park Street are cordoned off for pedestrians to walk down the road and enjoy the lights, fervour and festivities. You can start at the Park Street metro station side and make your way to the Camac Street crossing and end in Allen Park (which is where all the action happens). You can continue towards the Vardan Market side and take the cab from here to return back.<\/p>\nTags: Christmas 2023<\/a>, Jawed Ahmed<\/a>, Kolkata<\/a>, Park Street<\/a> Kolkata Christmas festival has been celebrated in the iconic Park Street since 2011.
