Every Sunday in January the historic K Dubash Marg area of Mumbai comes alive to the pulsating heartbeat of rural India as the Kala Ghoda Fair transforms the pedestrian plaza into a hive of arts and crafts.
The fair offers the opportunity to sample the varied cuisine of Maharashtra, savour a traditional Parsi breakfast or walk in to the famous Max Mueller Bhavan and see the collection of award-winning Indian films. As the sun begins to inch towards the Arabian Sea, a heady mix of folk dancers, musicians and singers take to the stage.

Wednesday, November 19, 2008 at 6:30 pm
Patron VIP reception at 5:30 pm
The romance of the rails comes to San Francisco's Conservatory of Flowers this holiday season as we present the debut of the Golden Gate Express™ Garden Railway and the Premiere Gala. You are invited to preview this remarkable new exhibit while you enjoy a gala evening event amongst the exotic flora in San Francisco's crown jewel of Victorian architecture.
This delightful Conservatory exhibition celebrates the city of San Francisco as model G-gauge trains wend their way through a lush landscape of dwarf plants and flowers and steam past twelve of the city's landmark buildings. From City Hall to the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco's most famous places provide a magical, exciting setting for this special holiday attraction that will captivate young and old alike. Added attractions include a vintage train seating area, the "Donor Depot", costumed conductors and interpretive materials about the development of San Francisco and its railways including a youth-created DVD about James Lick, the Bay Area tycoon who brought the Conservatory to California.

HISTORY AND MEDIA
The Conservatory of Flowers first opened to the public in 1879. Among the original twenty-seven kit purchasers were two of San Francisco's Big Four transcendental railroad developers, Leland Stanford and Charles Crocker. In 1883 Stanford began running a steam train along the street now named Lincoln Way from Stanyan to Ocean beach.
The venerable Conservatory of Flowers was a distinctive landmark and popular attraction. A severe wind storm caused devastating damage to the Conservatory in 1995. A grass roots effort to Save the Conservatory resulted in a $25 million renovation with the Conservatory officially reopening in September 2003. The Conservatory has received numerous local, state and national awards.
