Fairs and festivals are still a very important part of Himachali people’s lives. These fairs and festivals always keep us in touch with our culture and moral values. Perhaps fairs originated for the cultural exchange and we are still following the traditions of organising traditional fairs. However, a lot of things have changed in the recent past as we started following the western culture to celebrate fairs and festivals.

Many state, national and international level fairs and festival are organised in the state, including Hamir Fest, Sombhadra Fest and Lavi International festival.
