The Lahore Eat Festival will be held from Friday March 31, to Sunday April 2. “The festival originally meant to be held in the second week of February has delayed because of security reasons,” recalled Nusrat Jamil of Latitude PR which is promoting the festival.
The festival will be organised by CKO, a company which launched its first food festival in Karachi — ‘Karachi Eat’. CKO director Aslam Khan said Lahore Eat would be held this time at the Fortress Stadium with visitors’ entry from Gate 1, and their exit from Gate 3. Vendors’ entry would be from Gate 2. The event timings are from 4:30pm to 1:00am. “After Pakistan Super League (PSL) final, this (festival) will be the biggest event in Lahore,” said Khan.
