Convention halls and open-air concerts

Things to do in New Town

52 events in new town across Kolkata — mostly music (11), food (9), comedy (8), nightlife (7). 3 are free.

New Town is the planned city north-east of Salt Lake, built along Biswa Bangla Sarani, the arterial road towards the airport. The Biswa Bangla Convention Centre, opened in 2017 with a 3,200-seat hall, takes business summits, conclaves and large ticketed shows, and the hotels around it host conferences and New Year's Eve parties. Nazrul Tirtha and Rabindra Tirtha are government cultural centres with auditoriums, film screenings and exhibitions. Aquatica, the water park at Kochpukur just beyond the township, doubles as the region's biggest open-air concert ground. The Orange Line through New Town had not opened by October 2026, so plan on a cab or bus from Sector V.
