Bengal Rowing Club hosted Christmas carnival, ‘BRC’s On A Mission Space’, in association with The Telegraph, on December 25. A club tradition since the past 40 years, this year’s theme was ‘space’. The carnival, which attrated visitors from all age groups, was mainly focused on kids’ entertainment with many rides, exciting activities, games and mouth-watering food stalls. The gala event also featured peppy, foot-tapping songs for the audience to dance along with.
Children got a chance to meet Santa Claus, who danced to Christmas numbers and distributed gifts among the children. Activities like nail art, painting your own Christmas card, slime making, ziplining, hand-painting and a time zone for toddlers were some of the best crowd-pullers at the carnival. Many members of the club also took part in the event by setting up and managing their own fun activity stalls. Snapshots.
“This is the fifth time I am attending the BRC Christmas carnival. I played almost all the games and especially enjoyed the ziplining and the car dance activities. I won biscuits, soft clay and scratch pads,” said Samaira Sirohia (centre), a class V student of Modern High School for Girls, who was there with her friends
“This is my first time here with my three- year-old. It is a great carnival with amazing rides and activities. The food is really good. We had fresh juices, French fries and dosa. I met many of my friends and family members,” said Shruti Kheria who works for HCL Technologies

“I like the racing games. I have been here before. I am enjoying the event with my mother,” said Aavya Singhania, who is in KG, La Martiniere for Girls
“This event is a continuation of our 40- year-old Christmas carnival. Earlier the carnival would take place for a day but since the last two years due to Covid we made it a two-day carnival with four time slots. BRC is famous for its food and all kinds of cuisines like Chinese, Continental, South Indian and our famous chaat is available. We hope to make this event grander and more entertaining every year,” said president of BRC, Deepak Jalan
“This is a fantastic carnival for kids. It is my first time and I came to know about it through social media. I am having a lovely time with my family,” said Bhavika, a homemaker
