Bengaluru, Oct 11: This festive season, Phoenix Mills brings the 10th edition of Phoenix Festival to Bengaluru, bringing together three months of shopping, entertainment, fashion, food and immersive experiences. Designed as a celebration of the festive season, Phoenix Festival Season 10 will bring a diverse calendar of experiences to audiences, with each occasion offering a new reason to visit, discover and celebrate.
For three months, from October to December, Phoenix Festival 2026 will transform the festive calendar into a season of anticipation, discovery and celebration across Phoenix destinations in Bengaluru. It is where festive traditions meet contemporary experiences, where shopping becomes an occasion and where every visit can become part of the celebration.
Across the season, Phoenix destinations will come alive with festive décor, live music, dance, entertainment and curated experiences, bringing together the colour and familiarity of India's festive traditions with contemporary formats. The festival is built around the idea of giving visitors more reasons to step out, spend time with family and friends, discover something new and create memorable moments.
Ritu Mehta, Director, Marketing – South & Pune, and Centre Director – Mall of Asia, said,"Phoenix Festival is our celebration of everything that makes the festive season special – from coming together with family and friends to discovering new experiences and creating memories. With Season 10, we are bringing together an exciting mix of festive traditions, immersive experiences and contemporary entertainment across our Bengaluru destinations. From the transformation of our spaces through festive décor to high-energy music, dance and cultural celebrations, we want every visit to feel like an occasion in itself. We look forward to welcoming Bengaluru to a season filled with light, colour, energy and celebration."
The Phoenix Festival calendar will kick off on 3 October with MAX URBN UNMUTE, which will bring its third edition to Bengaluru, bringing together some of the biggest names in Indian hip-hop. Featuring Reble, MC Bijju and Rahul Dit-O, alongside voices from the local rap scene, the event will bring together hip-hop, street culture and fashion for an evening of live entertainment.
The celebrations will continue with the unveiling of the Diwali décor on 10 October, bringing to life the theme “A Journey of Light.” Inspired by the spirit of Diwali, the installation reimagines traditional Indian patterns through contemporary illumination. The Diwali décor launch will also feature the presence of Bollywood actor Harshvardhan Rane, who will join Phoenix Marketcity Bengaluru for the launch.
The décor features Ikat-inspired geometric forms coming together as an immersive maze, with illuminated diamond forms representing individual points of light coming together to create a larger collective glow. Drawing visual inspiration from festive rangoli patterns, the installation combines traditional Indian design language with contemporary lighting to create an immersive experience for visitors.
The installation invites visitors to explore, discover, celebrate and glow, transforming the festive décor from a visual display into an experience centred on light, colour, culture and togetherness. The installation will be on display through 30 November 2026.
The festive celebrations will continue with Phoenix Dandiya Night on 17 and 18 October, from 4 PM onwards at Phoenix Marketcity, Whitefield. The two-day celebration will feature DJs, live music, dance performances, fire acts, a dhol show and food stalls, bringing the energy of Navratri to Bengaluru.
Adding a global dimension to the festival, Quick Style India Tour will take place on 31 October 2026. The internationally recognised dance collective, known for its viral choreography and performances on major global stages, will bring its signature routines to India in a live concert experience. The performance will combine iconic choreography with new creations designed specifically for the stage, blending movement, storytelling and cinematic visuals.
Mr. Gajendra Singh Rathore, President – Malls (South & Pune), said, "Phoenix Festival Season 10 reflects the scale and diversity of experiences that today's audiences are looking for.
