Events this weekend in Surat this weekend 🔥

If you’re hunting for the real concerts events in Surat – the ones people actually show up for, not just scroll past on Instagram – you’re in the right place. Surat’s going through one of those phases where everything is happening at once: big-ticket concerts, charity runs, women-only trips flying out of town, heavy-duty wedding exhibitions, late-night mushairas, and yes, that Monday market you swear you’re only going to for ‘just a quick look’. The city’s crowd already knows where to be; this guide is for catching up.

Right now, around 4,300+ people have already committed, which tells you all you need to know about FOMO levels. On the music side, you’ve got Manhar Udhas Live in concert pulling in the classic ghazal and nostalgia crowd – the kind of night where Sanjeev Kumar Auditorium in Athwalines turns into a full sing-along. If you want something that feels more purposeful-with-sneakers, Ekal Run 3.0 is where the charity + fitness folks are landing early in the morning, before heading off for their filter coffee and bragging rights.

If your idea of a good concert-adjacent plan is ‘get out of Surat entirely’, Phuket Krabi Bangkok Women Only Trip is the current escape button – very much for the girl gangs who are done with Gopi Talav selfies and want beach, cocktails, and a break from everybody’s opinions. Closer home, Monday market is the city’s unofficial weekly festival – more chaos than concert, but if you like people-watching and random retail thrills, it’s a solid low-pressure outing.

The big planners and big spenders are already eyeing THE BIG WEDDING EXHIBITION - SURAT (JAN 2026) – yes, 2026 – because this city treats weddings like full-scale productions, not events. Expect jewellery, fashion, decor, and that one lehenga you absolutely don’t need but will think about for weeks. For something that hits the brain and the heart instead of just the credit card, Ibtida'a Mushaira is the pick: a literary-art and poetry night where the Urdu and Hindi lines land harder than half the movie scripts out there, perfect if you like your evenings lyrical rather than loud.

Venue-wise, the mood swings from seated and serious at Sanjeev Kumar Auditorium: Surat (think proper acoustics, aunty-approved seating, and artists you actually want to hear), to campus-style energy at Veer Narmad South Gujarat University, where bigger gatherings and youth-heavy events feel more alive, to Vesu Village, which has become that catch-all zone for open-air vibes, pop-ups, and performances that feel less formal and more ‘let’s just go and see’. Across it all, you’ll find the usual Surat mix: shoppers, entrepreneurs, bikers, volunteers, poetry nerds, charity regulars, and that crowd that somehow does scuba-diving trips and wedding planning in the same month.

If you’re choosing where to go: book Manhar Udhas if you want a proper concert night, sign up for Ekal Run 3.0 if you need motivation to wake up before 7am, hit Ibtida'a Mushaira for a slower, richer evening, and keep Monday market and the exhibitions as your casual ‘let’s just step out’ plans. This is how Surat spends its best moments – a little bit cultured, a little bit chaotic, always slightly overdressed.
