Through Village Ticket, organisers hope to revive healthy food culture, forgotten games, old village houses, potti-kadai, panchayat setup, maiya medai, and other entertaining factors that come with village life. This event presents a rare opportunity to experience and enjoy the art, culture, and lifestyle of Tamil Nadu’s villages in the heart of the city.

“The overwhelming response from previous Village Ticket editions, with over 60,000 visitors, made us ecstatic. Chennai locals love it, and we are thrilled to bring it back for the fourth time. We are making this edition bigger and better with all-around entertainment options suitable for all age groups. We hope everyone will join us this summer holidays to enjoy a fantastic village experience in the city,” said Hemachandran, one of the organizers.
