Jhamsikhel Youth Club is organising the ‘4th Jhamsikhel Street Festival 2019’ on Saturday to mark the start of Visit Nepal 2020, a government campaign to bring in two million tourists the country next year.
Organising a press meet in Jhamsikhel, spokesperson of the club Kaushal Ghimire said that it will be the fourth time that the club is organising the street festival. “The festival will be inaugurated by home minister Ram Bahadur Thapa,” he said, adding that the club has been organising street festival once every four years. “We did it in 2008, 2012, and 2016, and now we are organising it in the end of 2019. “The timing of this festival is significant as it was being held on the eve of Visit Nepal Year 2020.”
“The street festival will have many attractions including Rock concert featuring Mukti and Revival, Anuprastha, Cobweb and Robin and the New Revolution,” Ghimire informed, adding that the festival will also feature Lok Dohori singers including Member of National Assembly Komal Oli, Prakash Saput and Team, and Prag Purna Nepali. “There will also be standup comedy performance by artists like Raja Rajendra, Purna Thapa, Ravi Dangol, Surendra KC, and Shiva Shankar Rijal.”
The organisers also said that the streets of Jhamsikhel will have food, handicraft, and face painting stalls along with bingo and carnival games for the children. The club will be hoisting flags of various countries to promote Visit Nepal Year 2020 (VNY2020) during the festival. “The festival will be made plastic free as part of the club’s Green Initiative,” he added.
