Shelar said it was this message of unity that had made the festival popular with people from all walks of life. “Bandra, the Queen of Suburbs, is a melting pot of all communities and Bandra Wonderland has become an anchor of this vision over the past few years,” he said

Like every December for the past decade, Bandra is once again abuzz with excitement over Wonderland, a unique community festival organised at Bandra Reclamation. Between December 23 and January 1, the entire promenade is lined with Christmas trees and lit up for the occasion. The Carter Road amphitheatre is turned into a festive venue for live street performances, installations and other activities between 6 and 10 pm. There’s a kids zone with trampolines and rides, as well as mascots such as Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse for fun interactions and photo ops. On December 30, children can enjoy activities such as pottery and T-shirt making free of cost.
