The Global Youth Festival will make its London debut at Harrow Leisure Centre on Sunday, 9 August, following its largest edition to date in Mumbai, which attracted more than 20,000 people.
The one-day festival will bring together more than 50 live and interactive experiences spanning music, movement, wellbeing, personal development, and community impact.

The festival will also feature a Leaders’ Panel with visualisation expert Maya Raichoora, entrepreneur and broadcaster Amar Shah, community builder and podcast host Amardeep Parmar, and business mentor Kavit Haria, exploring how young adults can create more purposeful and fulfilling lives.
The day will conclude with a Bollywood and Bhajan Jam led by Bhavik Haria. Other highlights include aerial yoga, chocolate meditation, a floating sound bath, a scent studio, charm bar, surf simulator, precision strike challenge, and VR emergency training.
A dedicated Impact Arena will also encourage festivalgoers to connect personal wellbeing with community action through purpose-led workshops and initiatives.
