September in Kolkata is when the city begins to thrum with anticipation, streets slowly dress up for Durga Puja, while cultural calendars get busier with theatre, literature, music, and food events. The monsoon’s retreat leaves the air heavy with nostalgia, and every café conversation seems to circle back to plans for the coming festivities. Yet, even before the city plunges into its grandest celebration, September 2025 offers plenty of performances, exhibitions, and gatherings that showcase Kolkata’s artistic heart.
