Hello everyone
Welcome to my lastest blog in the last blog I have described one of the best art festival on the street of Mumbai known as kala ghoda art festival which is the most unique art display event made out of waste and damaged materials I have ever seen. So let's continue our journey of exploring Aamchi Mumbai
Last time I told you about a festival which is not less than a fair, but this time I will be telling you about a fair itself, and it is not just a ordinary one it is one of the most popular fair in Mumbai and the biggest for Mumbai's christian community, it is Mount Mary Fair also known as Bandra Fair
Mount mary fair is a week long fair happens to be celebrated on the occasion of the birth of mother Mary, mother of Jesus Christ. According to my knowledge and information from the time of my visit it happens to be celebrated more than 250+ years. The fair is situated exactly at the mount mary church of bandra which is also the end spot of bandra bandstand. The fair is celebrated with music, local vender's selling items, snacks and refreshment, prayers, and people from church group telling the mother mary and the history of the church.

There are many shops you can find in the fair like fast food like sandwhiches, pizza's, and even cakes, and pasteries. With that you can even find jewellery, ornaments stall, house decor material based on mother mary theme, fragrance candles, and paintings of mother Mary and Jesus Christ. You can enjoy the heritage and culture of church and even learn some history of the church and fair, the architecture of church is also one of the attraction to look after.
