Scheduled from May 23- May 25 to coincide with the BudhPoornima, the festival has lined up competitions like fancy dress, musical chair, matka race, tug-of-war among others.
"For adventure loving tourists, there will also be trekking and hiking and boat race in Nakki lake. The cultural programmes will see the performances of Sufi singer Sonam Kalra as well as an Odisi dance by Manjushri Pande," said Rakesh Srivastava, principal secretary, Tourism.
This year's special feature is 'Colours of the Tribes' which comprises a melange of song, music and dance by tribal folk performers.

The festival is held every year during the month of May on Budh Poornima to celebrates the warmth and cheerfulness in the hill station.
"The hospitality of locals, colourful culture and exotic locations make this festival a-never-to-be-forgotten experience," said Srivastava.
Mount Abu, located at the southern western end of the state, about 185 km from Udaipur, is famous for several temples, the most prominent being Delwara temples, and Nakki Lake.
