Cerana Meads, Gymkhana91 and Grover Zampa Wines added buzz to The BuzZYNG Flea for the youth to unwind and relax by sipping on the best of the best cocktails, meads and wines while they enjoyed the scintillating performances by young Zoroastrian talented singers like Shanaya Boyce, Khurshed Mogrelia, Sarosh Sidhva, Rehan Balaporia and Hushad Khan along with great sets played by DJ Zubin Fanibanda. To top it all, Burzin Engineer and his dance crew (Dance Out India) enthralled the crowd with their energizing performance.
The 16th East Bombay Zoroastrian Scout Group engaged the kids and preteens with unique and creative base games along with the application of teamwork and leadership skills which included cooking, tent pitching, commando crossing, observation focused games and more. Besides the bouncy castles entertaining the little ones, few kids also tried their hands with mosaic bottle and mandala dot painting offered by Art Inc.
Party games for all like smash my face, can knockdown, 7up7down, twister and more along with simulator racing (Ajmera Indikarting) were other fun activities, many enjoyed with their friends and family.
Actor Jim Sarbh from Padmavat and Neerja fame graced the event, interacting with the crowd and giving an opportunity to all to click some great memories with him.
