Food Festivals, Food Walks & Pop-ups in Bengaluru

Bengaluru's food events run all year, and the listings below are refreshed daily with food festivals, tasting menus, chef pop-ups, food walks, brewery events and seasonal fairs. The city's own food calendar has a few fixed points. Kadalekai Parishe, the groundnut fair on Bull Temple Road in Basavanagudi, falls on the last Monday of Karthika, which is 7 December in 2026. The annual cake show at Palace Grounds runs from mid-December into early January, and the Avarebele Mela, a fair devoted to hyacinth-bean dishes, is usually held around the turn of the year in the Basavanagudi area; neither had announced its next dates at the time of writing. Lalbagh hosts a mango fair in summer, Ramzan evenings are known for the food stalls of Shivajinagar and Frazer Town, and Indian Cocktail Week is scheduled for Bengaluru on 21 and 22 November 2026. For everyday eating, the VV Puram food street near Sajjan Rao Circle packs more than 20 vegetarian stalls into a single lane that gets busy after 6 pm, and old institutions such as MTR on Lalbagh Road, founded in 1924, and Vidyarthi Bhavan in Gandhi Bazaar, founded in 1943, are stops on most food walks in Bengaluru (Bangalore).
