Date: Dec 02
Venue: Australia high commission, Chanakyapuri
Christmas is about the spirit of giving. In line with the Christmas spirit, the Australian High Commission’s pre-Christmas fair Oz Haat Charity Mela is about charity. A host of charitable organisations, welfare groups and NGOs set up stalls at the verdant lawns of the Australian High Commission. The products they sold included Christmas décor and related items, clothes and winterwear, handmade ornaments, crafts, home décor items, handmade toys, food/beverages and to extend the festive cheer – mugs of beer. Kids’fun zone and games were also organised throughout the day. Some children were sitting on the lawn and painting away.
All in all it was a wholesome event for the young and the old. There is no entry fee for this fair. Given that the event is just on for a day, it is a surprise as to how they manage to draw such footfall. It is indeed among the fun things to do in Delhi for Christmas. However it is inside a high security zone and entails few rounds of frisking. An identity card is also necessary for entering the area. Parking could be a little messy so you could try the parking zones near Nehru Park or Ashok Hotel. The Oz Haat Charity Mela on a warm and golden day ushered the Yuletide spirit in many of us.
Wow this event sounds like a perfect option to enjoy and have some fun with family during festive season. Thanks a lot for sharing all details. Will share about it with my Delhi based friends.
The OZ Haat Charity Mela sounds like the best way to start off the Christmas Season. Makes for a great family outing too. Christmas is almost around the corner which means we will soon see the back of 2020, and hope for a better 2021.

We have yet to receive any information about this year’s festival from the high commission. We will keep you posted.
How thoughtful that the Australian High Commission thought about organizing a pre-Christmas fair “Oz Haat Charity Mela”. Charity is much needed in the times of pandemic.
These kinds of charity Mela are a great way to start the Christmas celebration. I just love visiting them here. Home decor items are the things which I majorly look into.
I really want to get to a Xmas market and buy some new decorations… but not sure when that will happen. But some Xmas travels planned yayyy
I still haven’t experienced Yuletide spirit yet this year. I love cake mixing and everything Xmasy! Great you enjoyed this Oz fair!
