Fan Culture: New York Comic Con drew more than 250,000 fans for its 20th anniversary, underscoring the staying power of comics and fandom. Bengali Heritage: Durga Puja brought Bengali rituals, music and dance to Times Square, giving diaspora communities a high-profile place to celebrate their roots. Festival Business: Garba organizers are turning Navratri dance events into recognizable brands; industry figures say registrations for garba-related intellectual property have risen 50% in five to six years. Music and Memory: New Orleans’ NOLA Funk Fest expands to three stages Oct. 16–18, with tributes to Allen Toussaint and spaces for Cajun, Creole and Black Masking Indian traditions. Arts Milestone: Atlanta’s High Museum marks 100 years with new acquisitions and programming aimed at making more visitors feel represented. Changing Audiences: Media leaders say the old monoculture has given way to smaller online communities that can help niche stories find wider audiences.
