What Bangalore organisers actually run — november–February, when BLR Hubba spreads across the city in January and the Literature Festival takes mid-December.
November–February, when BLR Hubba spreads across the city in January and the Literature Festival takes mid-December.
BLR Hubba runs 16 to 25 January in its third edition, spreading music, dance, theatre, visual art, food and heritage walks across venues all over the city rather than one ground. The Bangalore Literature Festival takes 11 to 13 December for its 15th edition. IISc runs Pravega as its science, tech and cultural fest, and the Bengaluru International Film Festival adds a screening block. A multi-venue city festival is a different ticketing problem from a single gate — several concurrent rooms, one attendee record.
Vihaya Events is not affiliated with these events — they are listed to show the kind of programming Bangalore supports.
