"We are presenting a blend of two cultures, cuisine, folklores, handicrafts and much more which citizens should not miss." He appealed to citizens to join this festival to a mixture of two cultures.

He said that need to enhance the inter-provincial relations between Punjab and GB must be taken to the next step and such cultural awareness programs could play a vital role to bridge the gap among
