Visit this K-pop themed carnival at Adagio in Bandra for all things Korean

Sugar-coated fruits at the flea

Committed by love, K-pop fans often come in large numbers. So zero points for guessing why the Bandra-based cultural music hub Adagio will be hosting its second K-pop carnival titled K-popup 2.0. Event manager Viraj P shares, "Adagio is mainly into classic rock but with this event, we're expanding into a new genre. We want to welcome the large K-pop fanbase into the space to celebrate the music and facilitate an exchange of knowledge. The first event in May this year received a great response with more than 200 attendees and we are confident the second edition will, too."

With two days celebrating all things K-pop, you do not want to give Korean food a miss. The feast will include Korean food catered by Foodblog Cafe that will plate up blue pea rice, sugar-coated fruits, jelly cake and other inspired dishes. Also on the list is a tarot card reading session by Lakshmi's Lair Tarot.

Aware of the fandom and their enthusiasm, the organisers will host a BTS-album jam session for stans to dance and sing. Music will be the highlight since fans will gather in the name of K-pop, after all. "We will host a live music session by a surprise guest artiste," the manager shares. Aman Gujral, founder of the music hub, adds, "We're confident the event will have great vibes." Apart from the shopping, food and music, Viraj notes that he's looking forward to having fans gather under one roof to share their thoughts and love for the genre.
