The timing is just right. With Dasara and Diwali around the corner, which translates to food, friends and much shopping, The Hindu-MetroPlus Lifestyle Show is all set to overwhelm shoppers with offers, deals, events and activities. The exhibition (September 6 to 11, Palace Grounds, Mekhri Circle), like the supplement, will serve healthy helpings of fashion, food, shopping, movies, music, home and kitchen requirements.
Just what is it that is going to make this Lifestyle Show special?
Great timing
"Sixty-five per cent of the exhibitors are outsiders and first-time participants. This itself guarantees new products and freshness to an exposition," says Rais Arif, Chairman, iCare Communication, the official event managers of the show. "The show is going to be a platform for newcomers to launch their products. It is the pre-festival time, which is important both for buyers and sellers. The mind-boggling variety under one air-conditioned roof is a shopoholic's dream come true," says Rais.

Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Coimbatore, Mumbai, Pune, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Punjab and several small villages from across the country will be represented.
