Chaar Minaar Bahadurabad
This is probably a traditional thing at this point. Every Pakistani that I know of has celebrated the night of 14th August at Chaar Minaar Bahadurabad. People do rallies the whole evening, enjoy the food street, come from long drives and then at 12 AM strikes and the sky lights up.
Fireworks, dances, and crowded roads filled with cars, along with portraits of Fatima Jinnah and Quaid-e-Azam displayed with pride, make for a vibrant celebration in Karachi. The city is alive and embraces its freedom to the fullest. Once again, we can assure you that it will be a night to remember.
Just be prepared for some traffic and a lot of honking!
