• The theme for 2020 KGAF is “PAST FORWARD.”
• The 2020 edition of the event has been organised across 14 categories including dance, food, children activities, theatre, music, movies and films, literature, street events, visual arts, heritage walks, stalls, workshops, urban design and architecture, and stand up comedy.
