The Great Indian October Fest
Hosted by Kingfisher, produced & conceptualized by Common Colors Entertainment, the Great Indian October Fest (TGIOF) is festival of music, beer and entertainment that has been held every October in Bangalore, India, since 2005. It is a three-day event offering activities including music, food, shopping, a flea market, an auto show, and a dedicated pavilion for competitive gaming. Inspired by the German Oktoberfest, TGIOF is one of many Oktoberfest celebrations held worldwide. The festival hosts international and Indian musicians from a variety of genres.
Though the main festival is held in Bangalore, the organizers organize some pan-India activities (for TGIOF):
- TGIOF mini-festivals and parties in Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, and Hyderabad
- TGIOF pre-launch events in several Indian cities
- TGIOF Road Show in multiple cities, such as Bangalore, Manipal, Mysore, Mangalore, Chennai, and Hyderabad

“The autumnal change of our woods has not yet made a deep impression on our own literature yet. October has hardly tinged our poetry.”
