World Performing Arts Festival

If there is any event that one should visit Pakistan for, apart from Basant, it is the "World Performing Arts Festival" held at Lahore every year since 1992.

The ten days long festival, that started November 22 this year, hosts theater, music, dance, films and puppets from around forty countries, featuring more than a 1000 performers. Take a look at schedule here & here. With nights featuring folk, pop, world, ghazal, rock, fusion, devotional, qawali and classical music, the event is bound to draw crowds; and provide an occasion for people to forget about politics and terrorism, and enjoy art - the way life is meant to be lived.
