Shop the season. Stay for the shows. Calicut hosts both.
Kozhikode has traded with the Gulf for centuries. The Calicut Edition brings that trade indoors for three days before Ramadan, under one roof at Calicut Trade Center.
Modest fashion, perfumes, dates and gourmet goods fill the exhibition floor. Concerts, comedy, mentalism and business talks fill the stages.
