These fests are extremely interactive and engaging; all colleges aim to outdo each other and then let the crowd decide which fest was the best. Mind you - everything is not all peaceful at these fests. The crowd gets out of control too and stampedes are a common sight. The whole area is abuzz with large crowds waiting to get entry and as such, you should refrain from taking cars and use either public transport or cab it. 

Having said that, college fests are experiences no one should miss out on, so do bookmark all these happening fests!
