This message is about the upcoming full-scale rehearsal event in connection with the 92nd anniversary celebrations of the Indian Air Force. The rehearsal will take place on 04.10.2024 (Friday) from 11:00 AM to 01:00 PM at Marina Beach, Chennai.
The key events will occur on the beach opposite the Vivekananda House, where the main dignitaries will be seated to watch the rehearsal. It is recommended to watch from this spot for the best view of the events. However, spectators can view the program from anywhere along the beach, from the lighthouse to the memorials of former chief ministers.
To get to the event, it is suggested to take a flying train (metro) from any station between Velachery and Chintadripet and alight at one of the following stations: Mylapore Mundakakanni Amman Koil Station, Lighthouse Station, Triplicane Station, or Chepauk Station, from where you can walk to the beach venue.
Crowd Expectation
Since tomorrow is a working day, there will likely be less crowd, making it a great opportunity to watch the entire rehearsal closely. The full program of what will happen on Sunday can be seen during this rehearsal.
Main Event on 06.10.2024 (Sunday)
The main event will take place on Sunday, 06.10.2024, when approximately 1.5 million people are expected to attend. Due to the large crowd, significant traffic, and parking issues on that day, it is advisable to travel by metro from Velachery or Chintadripet stations to reach the venue. It is better to avoid using personal vehicles like cars, bikes, or scooters, as parking will be a challenge, and restrictions will be high with police control. Buses will also be overcrowded.
Additional Rehearsal on 05.10.2024 (Saturday)
On Saturday, 05.10.2024, another rehearsal event will be held at Marina Beach, from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM. It is a one-hour rehearsal. Those unable to attend the rehearsal on Friday due to other commitments can catch this one instead.
Tips for Attendees
People attending the event are advised to wear hats to protect themselves from the heat. Bring enough food and water to stay hydrated during the event. The large crowd and extended duration of the event make these necessities.
This celebration marks the 92nd anniversary of the Indian Air Force, and it promises to be a spectacular event. Those interested should make plans to attend the rehearsal on 04.10.2024 or the main event on 06.10.2024 to witness the grandeur.
