Big Bazaar

Don8217;t we all love one-stop shops where you can lay your hands on a dishy tunic, some interesting jewellery, perhaps a new bag too, all at the same time! With Diwali a few weeks away and the festive frenzy catching on, solo exhibitions are fast making way for huge big bazaars that make you drive to a resort on the city8217;s outskirts and spend a day lazing, lunching and shopping too! 8220;Precisely what we have planned out with the 8216;Oktober Fest,8221; chorus city-based event planners Hema Bedi and Saguna Jain. With their company 8216;Event it Right8217;, the two have put together a fest that packs in not just shopping spree opportunities but added attractions like a food festival and a rock show! 8220;We have been researching on the concept for almost three years now asking both exhibitors as well as shoppers on what they were looking for?8221; mentions Jain. They have got their answers with The Oktober Fest that rolls out over the weekend on 11th and 12th October at The Chimney Heights Resort. 8220;Unlike other events, we will be on from 12 noon to midnight,8221; pitches in Bedi who mentions a plump list of exhibitors coming in for the show. From clothes to accessories to furniture to food8230;it8217;s all up for grabs! 8220;We have some first timers like Bhukriti with studio pottery from Kolkata, Crazy Daisy from Delhi, Golden Needle from Chandigarh, Heads Up for Tails who will bring in unique products for pets, La Finezza with their range of Fine Foods from Ludhiana8230; and much more,8221; mention the two who will keep the non-shoppers read accompanying husbands and children busy with salsa dancers and live musicians. And quite like the other October Fest, which is held in Germany, this one brings in beer and snacks too. Go on make the most of your weekend!
