Knocksense La Flea Affair Diwali Edition is bringing 4 days of shopping, food & workshops to Lucknow

You don't need to plan a getaway for the long weekend because Knocksense has exciting plans for you. The 12th edition of La Flea Affair, Diwali Edition 2026, is set to offer four days of shopping, food, and creative activities in Lucknow from October 29 to November 1.

Whether it's completing your festive shopping, indulging in some snacks, or enjoying retail therapy, this event is a must-add to your October schedule.

La Flea Affair started with a straightforward concept: provide homegrown brands a venue to connect with customers, create a stage for emerging musicians, and give Lucknow a fresh reason to venture out.

Over five years and 11 editions, this idea has evolved into a staple on the city's event calendar. For independent sellers, the flea market presents an opportunity to engage directly with buyers. For performers, it offers a platform to expand beyond their usual audience. And for attendees, it serves as a spot to socialize with friends while soaking in the atmosphere.

If your festive shopping list is still gathering dust, the pop-ups at La Flea Affair could give you a head start. Scented Mafia, Sui Dhaaga, Inkstyles and EUVIK by YuMe Fashion are among the names to look out for. There are plenty of gift ideas beyond clothes and accessories, too. Pick up plants from Rushtic Growers, Diwali cookie hampers from Biskits or a new read from Ageo Group’s BookQuest.

But shopping on an empty stomach is a risky business. Fortunately, the food line-up gives you a good reason to take a break between stalls. Mark’s Burgers, Nainital Momos and Prezzo Pizzeria are names to keep on your radar for savoury bites. Those with a sweet tooth can look out for Sprinkle Sundays and Bien Bakehouse. For drinks, Keffi and Sippin Club are worth checking out, while Thocs is listed for its banta pops.

If browsing the stalls isn’t enough to keep you occupied, La Flea Affair also has a line-up of workshops. Options range from Beach Texture Art and Clay Mirror Decoration to Tote Bag Block Printing, Pearl Art and Vintage Fridge Magnet Making. There’s also 3D Lemon and Strawberry Painting for anyone who wants to create artwork that looks good enough to eat. Book your workshop tickets here and make time for a little art between your shopping and food stops.

If your October schedule is still open, consider adding La Flea Affair to your plans. Gather your friends and sign up for an elegant workshop. Just be cautious not to commit to leaving with just one shopping bag.

Tickets are listed through the Knocksense application and website, with on-site sales also available. Workshop charges are additional.

When: October 29 to November 1

Where: UP Darshan Park, Opp. Ambedkar Park, Vipin Khand, Gomti Nagar, Lucknow
