A wide spectrum of national talent, a variety of programmes and a splendid setting make Shimla’s Summer Festival - a memorable event.

The Kangra Festival is also held in June at Kangra, At Solan, on the third Sunday of the month, the Solan Fair honours the goddess Shoolini, the presiding deity of the region. On June’s full moon night, the Ghantal festival is held at Lahaul’s Guru Ghantal Monastery.
