Gangtok will host ‘Sikkim Utsav 2026 – Gangtok Chapter’, a three-day festival celebrating the state’s entrepreneurs, culture, handicrafts, organic products and food traditions from June 5 to 7 at MG Marg, an official said on Friday.

 

The event is being organised by the state commerce and industries department under the Centre’s Raising and Accelerating MSME Performance (RAMP) scheme.

 

According to Karma D Yutso, the festival aims to provide a platform for local entrepreneurs while showcasing the strength of Sikkim’s growing creative, cultural and business ecosystem.

 

Yutso said previous editions of Sikkim Utsav had been organised in Siliguri, Bengaluru and New Delhi, helping introduce the state’s products, cuisine, art and entrepreneurs to wider audiences across the country.
