New Delhi, Oct 07: Mumbai’s happiest festival is heading to the capital. The Lil Flea, India’s home for homegrown brands, is set to light up Delhi once again on 23rd-25th October 2026. Over three days, the festival will light up Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium with hundreds of independent brands, a food lineup worth the trip on its own, three nights of live music and a brand-new Art Village.
The Lil Flea began in 2014 as a small pop-up of bohemian designers and artists in Mumbai and has grown into one of India’s most loved food and lifestyle festivals. Each show hosts 400+ brands curated from a community of over 20,000. In April 2026, its 12th anniversary edition at Jio World Garden, BKC, welcomed more than 100,000 visitors across two back-to-back weekends. This October, Delhi gets the full experience, with established cult favourites alongside new labels, many showing in the city for the first time.
Shoppers can look forward to hand-picked labels across fashion, jewellery, home, art, beauty and gifting, with the makers themselves at every stall. Participants include NeNiKaar, By Nirjari, Suramyah and Maalicious Jewelry in jewellery, Jamun Soda, Kairo Store, The Sufi Studio and Indian Jacket Company in apparel, and Kinavu Living, The Scented Palette and Snugroots Living in home and living. With the festive and wedding season around the corner, it is an easy place to start and finish a gifting list. The festival also brings back The Collectives, curated corners for Potters, Art, Himachal, Friends from Goa and Upcycled, where up-and-coming makers like Offcentre by Sadhvi, Popup Stone, NO MORE, Dolls 4 Tibet and Mountain Gods take centre stage.
The food lineup is built for grazing, with comfort bites, indulgent desserts and small-batch gourmet treats from Aku’s Burgers, Bomba Pizzeria and Taqueria, Burma Burma, Fat Lulu’s, Koyla Kebab, Enji’s Speciality Coffee Bar & Bakehouse, The Croffle Guys, Fin Churros and more. The festival bar will pour craft beers, Indian spirits, gins, wines and specially created festival cocktails, and the Picnic Zone offers a spot to sprawl out and go back for seconds.
The music runs across three nights, each with its own mood. Friday is for the new wave, with Gini, Tsumyoki and boy band Outstation. Saturday belongs to the women, with Mansa Jimmy, Rashmeet Kaur and Divya Belwal on one powerhouse bill. Sunday is the big singalong, with Delhi’s own Gin & Tonic and Sutej Singh building the energy before Indian Ocean, the legends of Indian rock fusion, close the festival under the open Delhi sky.
The biggest new addition is The Art Village, a hands-on world where visitors stop watching and start making. It features a DIY Pottery Zone for wheel throwing and hand-building, make-and-take workshops, live art and printing, the Alt Stage and Jam Hut for independent artists and open mics, and fun extras like caricatures, glitter art and temporary tattoos. Families are covered too, with a Kids Zone offering a Kids Open Mic, Kids Concert, Drum Circle, Lil Craft House and DIY Kids Cafe. The grown-ups shop; the kids headline.
“This edition is our love letter to the capital. Hundreds of makers with something amazing to show, and a city that knows how to celebrate. Come with your friends, come with your family, and come ready to discover.” says Alankar Jain and Priyanka Punjabi, Founders, The Lil Flea.
