Friendship Day in Noida: 6 Ways to Celebrate
Friendship Day 2026 falls on Sunday, 2 August, and Noida has six separate events worth picking from, covering everything from a Bollywood social to a rooftop Sufi night just across the border. We’ve grouped them by vibe rather than by clock, so pick what suits your gang.
| Event Name | Time + Venue |
|---|---|
| F.R.I.E.N.D.S Fest | 2pm onwards, Sun 02 Aug · The Weekend Wine & More, Sector 98 |
| Bestie Beat & Bazaar | 5pm onwards, Sat–Sun · Gulshan One29, Sector 129 |
| The Friendship Heist | 2pm–5pm, Sun 02 Aug · Vintage Cottage Cafe, Sector 122 |
| DIY Bedazzle Tumbler Workshop | 12pm–2pm, Sun 02 Aug · Cafe Roastique, Sector 104 Market |
| Friendship Unplugged ft. Alisha | 8.30pm–11.30pm, Sun 02 Aug · The Salt Cafe, Sector 104 |
| Sufi Night ft. Nawaz Sabri | 8pm–11.30pm, Sun 02 Aug · The Terrace Sky Bar & Lounge, Vaishali, Ghaziabad |
Sufi Night is technically just across the Noida border in Vaishali, but close enough that it’s worth including if a rooftop qawwali evening appeals more than a Sector 98 party. For brunch spots, breweries, escape rooms and paintball arenas to round out the day, see our full Friendship Day 2026 guide.
Family & Kids: Mall Miles at RCube Monad Mall
An entire mall turned into a fitness playground for Friendship Day, that’s the pitch behind Mall Miles. It’s UPRUN’s indoor 3km run, mat Pilates session, and coffee rave rolled into one Sunday morning, with a scribble-tee tradition thrown in for good measure. It’s not part of our six-event Friendship Day lineup above since it’s more fitness meetup than party, but it’s very much a Friendship Day weekend pick if your gang is the active sort.
| Event Name | Time + Venue |
|---|---|
| Mall Miles (UPRUN) | 7am, Sun 02 Aug · RCube Monad Mall, Sector 43, Noida |
Entry: ₹199 | What’s included: 3km indoor mall run, Friendship Day scribble-tee experience, mat Pilates, games, live DJ coffee rave, brand giveaways | Registration: via UPRUN’s payment link or Instagram bio
Event flow: 7am gather → 7.15am warm-up → 7.30am 3km indoor run → 8.15am hydration break → 8.30am Pilates, games & challenges → 9.15am rave begins.
Teej, Rakhi & Shopping
Teej and Rakhi season is still very much in full swing across Noida’s malls this weekend.
Gaur City Mall turns 7: the mall’s anniversary celebration runs alongside end-of-season shopping and Rakshabandhan specials, with live performances, surprise giveaways, and instant vouchers for shoppers who cross ₹5,000, including mega rewards for seven lucky winners.
For the complete list of Teej and Rakhi exhibitions, pop-ups and lifestyle expos happening across Noida this season, head to our Teej & Rakhi lifestyle exhibitions guide.
Worth the Drive: Delhi NCR

| Event Name | Time + Venue |
|---|---|
| Princes & People of India: Portraits by Emily Eden | until 1Aug, 11am–7pm · DAG, Delhi |
| One Mother, Many Mother Tongues | until 8 Aug, 10am – 9pm · Humayun’s Tomb Museum |
