Janmashtami Dress-Up & Craft Celebrations (Delhi NCR)
About the event
Around Janmashtami — which falls on 4 September in 2026 — activity centres, preschools and play cafes across Delhi NCR run themed celebrations for young children: Krishna and Radha dress-up, gentle dahi-handi play, story sessions and festival craft like flute-making and matki decorating. These are typically short, joyful, single-day events aimed squarely at the toddler-to-early-primary group, and they are a lovely low-pressure way to introduce very young children to the festival. Because they are dated and organiser-run, individual sessions are posted on platforms like Taabur in the two to three weeks before the festival; check closer to the date to find one near you and book ahead, as small venues fill quickly.
What to bring
• Your child's festival dress-up outfit
• A change of clothes — craft and play can get messy
• A water bottle and a small snack
• Hand wipes and sanitiser
• Your booking confirmation
What to expect

Expect a warm, high-energy atmosphere pitched at toddlers and early-primary kids, usually lasting one to two hours. A gentle first introduction to the festival for very young children.
