When we say it’s back, we mean back with a bang. The SAS Knocksense La Flea Affair Diwali Edition 2025 returns this October for its 10th grand edition.

And because the 10th calls for something extra special, this year’s celebrations will span not three but four full days—October 9 to 12. That’s four whole days of shopping, food, art, and festive fun!

This time around, festive shopping is set to steal the spotlight at The SAS Knocksense La Flea Affair Diwali Edition! With over 50 pop-up stalls brimming with everything from handcrafted home decor and elegant ethnic wear to quirky jewellery and one-of-a-kind finds you won’t stumble upon at mainstream stores. It’s all about curated collections that add that extra sparkle of artisan exclusivity to your home parties and festive soirees.

Aaaand, because it’s a Knocksense affair, you know the food game will be nothing short of a full-blown culinary theatre! We’re talking handpicked stalls dishing out an irresistible variety of nosh: snacks, bakery goodies, authentic Awadhi delicacies, Italian favourites, cafe-style treats, Pan Asian bites, and yes, plenty of desi comfort too. Basically, a line-up designed to tempt every palate and leave you totally, deliciously spoilt for choice.

For this edition, La Flea Affair isn’t stopping at shopping bags and food trails, it’s turning into a playground of creativity with Social Spark’s workshops. What workshops you ask? Well, there's a full-blown variety: Pottery Painting, Fluid Art, Textured Art, Canvases and more. It is an invitation to roll up your sleeves and try something new. (Psst… you can peek at the full list here.)

And because no festival is complete without a little extra flair, Knocksense is adding a festive flourish with complimentary mehndi on October 9. Brides-to-be or anyone simply in the mood for gorgeous, intricate designs this one’s for you. Picture it: while your hands are getting decked up, he’s off exploring the food stalls, piling up treats, and coming back with a plateful of delights. End result? You both get something to enjoy. Plus, a dash of extra time together in the festive spirit!

If you’ve been to our past La Flea Affair editions, you already know that live music is one of our biggest USPs. And this time’s no different; expect non-stop performances from a super talented line-up of artists and bands. The music kicks off on Day 2 and keeps grooving for the next three days (Oct 10, 11, 12). Artist line-up? Stay tuned to our Insta for the big reveal.

And let’s not forget the venue, UP Darshan Park adds its own magic to the experience! Our pretty-pretty flea unfolds on the lush green lawn right by the lake. Think game zone, fun rides for kids, and even pedal boating on the lake—because why not?

The SAS La Flea Affair continues to be a celebration of culture and community. The tickets are live now on the Knocksense App, the stalls are ready, and the countdown has begun. All that’s left is for you to show up and make the most of the city’s quirkiest Diwali pre-game. Follow us on Instagram for more updates.
