"Murals came to life, turning everyday spaces into extraordinary experiences. Bangalore’s streets are filled with color, creativity, and the magic of urban art," organisers said on social media.

Bengaluru Hubba 2024 is a multi-dimensional celebration that combines arts, performances, exhibitions, workshops, and interactive conversations. Running from November 30 to December 14 across 40 locations in the city, the festival promises 16 days of cultural activities designed to connect communities, entertain, and inspire. With a budget of 8 crores and over 500 events planned, Bengaluru Habba has grown into a significant cultural movement aiming to showcase Bengaluru's arts and creativity on national and international platforms.

Led by passionate Bangaloreans and supported by community efforts, Bengaluru Hubba aims to celebrate inclusivity and urban life through diverse performances and visual arts. V. Ravichandar, chief facilitator and a self-proclaimed "patron saint of lost causes," has emphasised that the festival strives to educate and entertain all Bangaloreans, promoting the idea that the arts are for everyone.
