As part of India’s 79th Independence Day, the Indian Navy Band is set to spread waves of patriotism across Mumbai with live performances at three of the city’s most prominent landmarks. The events, open to all, will take place from 5.30 pm to 6.30 pm at the following venues and dates:

• Flora Fountain, Fort, on August 11 
• Bandra Fort Amphitheatre on August 14 
• Gateway of India on August 15 

The band's performances are part of a series of celebrations designed to honour India’s Independence, evoke patriotic sentiments and enhance national pride among citizens. The Indian Navy has urged Mumbaikars to attend in large numbers, soak in the atmosphere, and join in commemorating the country’s journey to freedom.

The origin of the Indian Navy Band dates back to 1945, when it was formed with only a small group of naval musicians. Over the decades, it has evolved into a celebrated ensemble, gaining both national and international recognition. The performances from the Indian Navy Band have not only enthralled audiences across the country but around the world, often during the overseas deployments of Indian Naval warships.
