The Sixth Sense Festival to Transform India's Creative Landscape
India is getting a big, new festival called The Sixth Sense.
It will happen in Bengaluru from February 5 to 22, 2026.
The festival is all about art, music, technology, and nature.
It will be in a big, old glass factory that has been turned into a fun, creative space.
There will be lots of cool things to see and do, like art shows, music performances, and workshops.
The festival wants to help people feel more connected to nature and understand how important it is.
Over 35,000 people are expected to visit.
It's going to be a really special event that could change how people think about art and nature in India.
The Sixth Sense is India's first and largest multidisciplinary immersive festival, running from February 5 to 22, 2026.
The festival will be held at Alembic City in Whitefield, Bengaluru, a 60-year-old glass factory transformed into a 200,000 sq. ft. immersive playground.
It features 30+ art-tech experiences, live music performances, curated galleries, workshops, and 20+ waste-to-art installations.
The festival explores the connection between humans, technology, and nature, aiming to make ecological awareness tangible and emotional.
