The Government of Maharashtra is all set to bring in the New Decade with grand celebrations across the state capitals on New Year’s Eve. Titled as ‘Dashak Maharashtrache’, the event will mark the success of the State’s continuous pace of development and usher in the new decade of hope and fulfillment of promises. Hosted by Maharashtra Tourism & Government of Maharashtra under the patronage of Hon’ble CM Shri Uddhav Thackeray, the landmark event will put India and the very own capital of Entertainment ‘Mumbai’ on the Global Map as the destination for one of the biggest New Year’s celebrations annually.

The new decade promises to be driven by rapid growth and sustainable development across all sectors in Maharashtra.

On New Year’s Eve, Mumbaikars will witness the grand welcome of Year 2020 and the new Decade with exclusively curated cultural performances which will showcase the state’s festivals, music and folk dances at iconic locations Gateway of India in Mumbai and Futala Lake in Nagpur. Every location will play the video recorded message of the CM across at midnight on large screens.

‘Dashak Maharashtrache’ also kicks off celebrations of 60 years of Maharashtra in 2020.
