Things to do in Nandanam

108 events in nandanam across Chennai — mostly workshop (76), other (21), music (4), wellness (3). 1 is free.

Nandanam matters to event-goers for one address: the YMCA College of Physical Education grounds on Anna Salai. The open ground has hosted the Chennai Book Fair every January since 2013 (except 2016), and the 50th edition is scheduled here for 7–19 January 2027. It is also Chennai's main open-air concert ground, used for arena-scale Tamil film-music shows; Hiphop Tamizha and Santhosh Narayanan both played here in 2026. Nandanam station on the Blue Line is a short walk from the gates, and Chennai Metro has run sponsored travel for some concerts. Chamiers Road nearby has cafés and boutiques for before or after.
