You're in for a treat (literally, too).

Come rain, come shine, we're destined to satiate our growing hunger for Karachi Eat this weekend and the organisers can feel it -- no wonder they've got a plan of action in motion for us hangry Karachiites.

For the cult following, roads leading to Frere Hall witness maddening traffic during the three days of Karachi Eat and now, after the event was postponed last week due to heavy rain, the food festival's organisers have a few improvements for us to make sure things run smoothly for their fans:

Here's what's happening:

1) For transport, make your life — and other's — easier.

a) Careem it: It's operating at a flat rate of Rs250 from anywhere in Karachi.

b) Carpool: Instead of taking separate cars and meeting friends at KE, why not go together with the whole group? Fit 10 people in one car, it's Pakistan, no one will judge.

2) Park your cars in the red areas

a) YMCA and Open Plot are free parking.

b) Pearl Continental is paid parking.

3) Free shuttle service

There will be a free shuttle service running along the roads adjacent to Frere Hall (the red line on the map). So even if you can't find parking close to Frere Hall, you'll know there's a shuttle service to take you to your destination.

Happy fat weekend to all!

It's not good for Karachi Administration to allow feasts at Frere Hall.This hall of 1865 has an archaeological value,besides it's lawn and surroundings will be hurt after garbage and left over food remained,once event ends. Example can be seen at DHA Phase 8, where several restaurants located,the whole vicinity is dirty and stinks badly.Karachi needs cleaning and less pollution, and not eating events at Archaeological sites.

@Thoughts changes Agree,they could have organised at Y.M.C.A. ground or at Expo centre premises or some where else, plus those Karachites who come and relax on benches or under the trees (unfortunately some of them can't afford to buy a decent meal let alone to buy a ticket for this festival) will have to wait till every thing finishes, in short this is a public place where people come and relax.
