When is the Pokhara Street Festival?

The Pokhara Street Festival runs over the last week of December into Nepali New Year, turning Lakeside into a car-free stretch of stages, food stalls, and live music. Confirmed festival events show up on this page as organisers post them.

Is Lakeside walkable for a night out?

Yes — Lakeside is a single long lakefront strip, so most bars, live-music venues, and restaurants are a short walk apart. It's the easiest night out in Nepal to do entirely on foot, and taxis back to the rest of town are cheap and plentiful.

Things to Do in Pokhara — Events, Nightlife & Live Music

Pokhara runs on Lakeside — the strip of bars, rooftops, and restaurants that hugs the eastern shore of Phewa Lake. Between paragliding landings by day and live bands by night, it's the most relaxed place in Nepal to go out, and the Pokhara Street Festival every New Year turns the whole lakefront into one long stage.
