Islamabad: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has plans to establish a Festival Square within the F-9 Park, according to news published in the leading newspaper on October 30.
The news source shared that this exciting development aims to provide not only a diverse range of food outlets but also a platform for folk musicians and street performers to entertain the residents of the federal capital.
Moreover, the CDA has invited well-established food brands and firms to submit their applications for participation in the Festival Square by November 1. These applications can be sent to the official @CDAthecapital handle on social media. The Festival Square is envisioned to include an array of food trucks, street performers, folk musicians, and stalls featuring handicrafts. The CDA has specified that it will prioritize applications from brands with a minimum of five years of experience in the industry.
The authority has designated a specific quota for stall allocation in the Festival Square. This includes 40% for men, 55% for women, and 5% for transgender individuals. The overarching goal is to enhance the recreational opportunities available within the expansive 750-acre F-9 Park, transforming it into a model park for the city.
Under the guidance of CDA Chairman Captain Anwar ul Haq the park’s infrastructure is also set to receive improvements. This includes an upgraded lighting system, particularly along jogging and walking tracks, children’s play areas, and other key zones. Furthermore, a bolstered security presence is planned, with additional guards to ensure a safe and secure environment for park visitors.
