Day 2 of Worldfest 2016 started with a bang with a marvelous performance by Chinese artists whereas the mannequin challenge featuring a huge crowd proved to be an interesting activity. Kids World was buzzing with activities as the popular cartoon character Chota Bheem interacted with kids and also clicked selfies with them. Food bloggers and the family crowd who attended the two-day festival had a blast discovering different cuisines at Food Stalls by various participating countries. Special mention to a coffee-tasting session by Ethiopia.
Special performances by Divya Arora and Tom Alter on 3rd December (World Disabled Day) were truly an inspiring one. The carnival parade on both the days with countries showcasing their traditional costumes was one of the major highlights. Ferriswheel played the perfect host to the 14 countries by treating them with Mumbai street delicacies.
Shubhra Bhardwaj said, “It was an amazing experience to see the streets of Mumbai’s Ballard Estate come to life with sights and sounds from across the globe! Mumbai witnessed a bright and colorful spectacle, consisting of performances from 14 countries.”
Zheng Xiyuan, Consul-General of the People’s Republic of China in Mumbai said, “I really love this kind of international cultural show, which could help better understanding and friendship between different peoples. This time we organized one Chinese cultural troupe to come to Mumbai for this event, aiming to increase local people’s interest in China and Chinese culture. We would like to continue to participate in a similar function in the future.”
