Gwalior Trade Fair Ground
The Gwalior Trade Fair is one of the largest and oldest trade fairs in North India, established in 1905 by Maharaja Madhav Rao Scindia. Spanning over a massive area, it is a vibrant blend of commerce, culture, and entertainment. Every year during January and February, the ground transforms into a m ini-city where traders from all over the country set up stalls. You can find everything here, from luxury Automobiles and high-end electronics to traditional Handicrafts and local Gajak (a famous sweet). The fair is divided into various sections, including an amusement park, food courts, and an exhibition area. It serves as a major boost for the local economy and is a beloved annual tradition for Gwalior residents. The night-time lighting and the sheer variety of items available make it a shopper’s paradise and a fun-filled family destination.
