The Tricity is heading into a busy October weekend, with music, live entertainment, festive celebrations and sporting events scheduled across Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula from October 9 to 11. With Navratri beginning during the weekend, the event calendar combines traditional celebrations with concerts and public-facing activities.
Mohali: Jasmine Sandlas and Dandiya at CP67
One of the weekend’s biggest entertainment draws is Jasmine Sandlas – The Dream Girl India Tour 2026, scheduled for October 10 at the Outside Arena at CP67 Mall, Mohali. Current event listings show the concert beginning in the evening, with ticketing information available through the event platforms.
CP67 is also hosting The Dandiya Beats at CP67 on October 10, giving visitors a festive alternative focused on Navratri music and dance. Residents should check the organiser or ticketing platform for the latest entry and timing information before attending.
Panchkula: sports and festive events
Panchkula has several activities on the October 9–11 calendar. Listings show the Sheru Classic NPC Regionals and the Indian Powerlifting League at Indradhanush Auditorium on October 9. The weekend also includes Dandiya and festive programmes in Panchkula on October 11.
These events add a sports and community dimension to the weekend, giving residents options beyond concerts and nightlife.
Chandigarh: culture and public activities
Chandigarh’s cultural calendar remains active with the 48th Chandigarh Sangeet Sammelan, which runs through October 10 at Strawberry Fields High School, Sector 26. The festival brings Carnatic and Hindustani classical performers to the city and is open to music lovers without an entry fee, according to the Indian National Theatre.
The wider weekend also includes public and wellness-oriented activities listed around the Tricity, while festive gatherings are expected to increase as Navratri gets underway.
Plan before you go
Because event timings, ticket prices and venue arrangements can change, visitors should confirm details with the organiser or official ticketing page on the day of travel. Traffic around major malls, auditoriums and event venues may also be heavier than usual during evening programmes.
For families, the weekend offers a broad choice of experiences: a major live concert in Mohali, traditional Dandiya celebrations, competitive sports in Panchkula and classical music in Chandigarh. Visitors can therefore choose between large-ticket entertainment and more culture-focused public programmes.
Navratri-related activity is likely to add to the festive atmosphere across the Tricity. Those attending multiple events should allow extra travel time, particularly around CP67, major Panchkula venues and evening programmes. Checking entry rules, parking arrangements and final schedules before departure will help avoid last-minute problems.
With several events falling on the same dates, the weekend is also a useful snapshot of how the Tricity’s public calendar is expanding. Residents can choose activities based on budget, age group and interests, while local venues and businesses benefit from increased visitor movement.
Why it matters
The October 9–11 calendar reflects the Tricity’s increasingly diverse public-event culture, combining traditional celebrations, live music, sport and cultural programming. It gives residents across Chandigarh, Panchkula and Mohali a wide choice of activities without needing to travel outside the region.
