With the ongoing festive season and winter beginning, November feels exciting enough to plan weekend getaways, do festive shopping, eat out, attend music events, and much more. And when it comes to Mumbai, the list never ends. Like the previous months, the November calendar for Mumbai is exciting enough to make you step out – even if you’re a couch potato. With Diwali 2026 coming up this month too, the city is already set to get a visual upgrade, with streets and homes getting lit up.

If you’re a die-hard anime, manga, or comic fan, then Navi Mumbai Comic Con is set for its 2026 edition, bringing cosplays, exciting panels, and more. Similarly, for architects and interior designers - or any design enthusiast in the city – AD Design Show 2026 brings curated installations and cutting-edge design ideas and leading brands under one roof. 

Music gigs are the highlights of this month’s event lineup. NO ART is set to come to the city, making its India debut, and will combine visual art and music at a waterfront venue. If you're keen on jazz, then there's the International Jazz Festival happening at NCPA with international artists – including a few Grammy winners and nominated artists – taking over the stage.

While there's more beyond these things, you'll need to check out the listed events below and this time, making plans with friends and family is going to be slightly difficult. 

Here’s everything happening across Mumbai in November this year.
