In a post on X, Maryam Nawaz said Lahore would once again come alive with colour, culture, music, festivity and its traditional hospitality.
Addressing young people across Punjab and Pakistan, the chief minister said the celebration was for them and urged them to come together, create memories and make Lahore shine with their energy.
She also invited overseas Pakistanis and international visitors to return to Lahore and attend the festival.
Maryam Nawaz expressed hope that Basant 2027 would become another major success and a celebration to remember, adding that Lahore would be waiting to welcome the Pakistani diaspora.
Lahore hosted its first Basant festival in more than two decades in February 2026 after the Punjab government lifted the ban on kite-flying under strict safety regulations.
The three-day event brought a festive atmosphere to the provincial capital, with streets and roads decorated with lights while rooftop gatherings and celebrations continued late into the night.
The Punjab government also introduced several measures to facilitate visitors, including free public transport.
Senior Provincial Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb had described the successful Basant celebrations as a victory for Lahore and Pakistan and said an even more vibrant festival would be held the following year.
She said around two million people used the free transport facility during the three-day celebrations, while about one million vehicles entered Punjab.
