Mumbai is set to get a brand new festival this weekend that promises a wide array of food, drinks and music

At least until a couple of days ago, the promenade that starts from the Gateway of India and ends at Radio Club in Colaba was the epicentre of Mumbaikars exercising the spirit of democracy, staging a peaceful protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act and National Register of Citizens. Thousands of people camped there to express their opposition. They sang songs, chanted slogans, held up posters, and made it loud and clear about which side of the divide they stand on. But come this weekend, the far end will be the venue for an entirely different reason. The city is going to get a brand new festival, called Pour, which will be held at the Radio Club Pier. It will entail fun, frolic, live music and generous amounts of food and drinks. Event consultant Komal Lath, who conceived of the festival along with Lalit Kewalramani — founder of an events management company called Nash Experience — gives us a lowdown on what to expect. "There are also going to be gin and wine cocktails like sangria, and mimosa too that people can sip on as they soak in the sunset. We are also launching a craft beer called Brewdog at the event. Plus, there is a vat filled with grapes that youcan stomp on, apart from a detox bar where a brand called Ethigro will be selling their produce and making drinks that will offset all the alcohol," she added. There is going to be a wide array of gourmet food, which includes barbecues and Indian and Asian cuisine
