Mt. Abu is the only hill station of Rajasthan and a major pilgrim centre located in southwest of Rajasthan. The Summer Festival is held in Mount Abu every year in the month of June . The three-day festival is a feast of folk and classical music and a window to the tribal life and culture of Rajasthan. The festival begins with an enthralling ballad, followed by folk dances of Rajasthan like Gair, Ghoomar and Dhap.

The evening is enlivened by a Sham-e-Qualwali. Qualwals from all over the state come to perform here and captivate the audience with their vocal skills.

Other events include a boat race on the Nakki Lake. It is believed that the Gods formed the lake-bed by digging it with their fingernails - 'nakh' - hence the name Nakki lake. The grand finale of the festival is a display of dazzling fireworks.
