This past weekend, Kolkata was treated to its fair share of revelry and infectious energy thanks to everyone’s favourite music festival – Bacardi NH7 Weekender. The festival kicked off its third visit to the city, with thousands of attendees converging at Aquatica in New Town to watch a fantastic lineup of city-bred and international artists take to stage.
The music was accompanied by some great food, visuals, unlimited Bacardi Buckets and of course that legendary Weekender vibe.
