Madras Week will be celebrated between August 16 and 23 (though events are spread all though August), to celebrate the founding of the city on August 22, 1639.
The co-coordinators say,” The response from corporate, educational institutions, citizens of the city, and even diplomatic missions has been enormous.”From heritage walks, to quizzes and cooking shows, there`s a lot being planned by communities in the city for the month.
