The events calendar in Surat

September–October for Navratri, then December–February.

What actually runs in Surat

Surat’s calendar is trade-led. SIECC, at roughly 1.5 million square feet, runs SITME in January and SITEX — the Surat International Textile Expo, now in its thirteenth edition — pulling manufacturers, wholesalers and exporters from across South Gujarat. Then Navratri hands the city to garba: ticketed nights, season passes and gate entry across grounds and societies through late September and October. Between them they define the two ticketing shapes here — multi-day badged expos, and nine nights of high-volume door entry.
