Historic Bandra Fort to Host 3-Day 'Olly Fest' Music Event
Imagine a very old fort in Mumbai, called Bandra Fort, that's usually quiet and historical.
This November, it's going to become a lively music stage for three days!
A group of friends from Bandra, who wanted to do something special for their neighborhood, are organizing a music festival there.
They're calling it 'Olly Fest'.
It's a chance for people to enjoy music from both famous and new artists.
The festival also aims to celebrate the fort's history and bring the community together.
It's happening right by the sea, with beautiful views, making it a special escape from the busy city.
The 385-year-old Bandra Fort will host a three-day music festival named Olly Fest from November 14-16.
The festival aims to celebrate music, heritage, and community, offering a break from city life.
It is organized by four local residents of Bandra with the goal of creating an event 'by Bandra boys for Bandra'.
The venue is the Bandra Fort amphitheatre, offering scenic views of the sea and the Bandra-Worli sea link.
The festival will feature a mix of legendary and contemporary artists.
