Step into the heart of Goa, where the timeless beauty of its culture is revealed through poetic expressions, heartfelt notes, and tantalizing flavours. From the lyrical rhythms of Konkani literature to the avant-garde strokes of Souza, we invite you to experience Goa’s culture as it is meant to be – inspiring, intricate, and innovative. The festival offers a multi-dimensional journey into the heart of Goan culture and its diverse influences.
Spotlighting Goa’s vibrant literary tradition, evocative art, and flavourful food, the festival will feature some of the most prominent names from the world of Art and Literature. We will be celebrating Goa’s musical renaissance with profound harmonies and masterful performances that will captivate and inspire audiences.
The festival will also see a layered multi sensory narrative in the outdoor lawn with Goan inspired art installations, a live music band playing some of our favourite Goan tunes and a lively bazaar bringing the best of Goa's shopping experience to your neighbourhood. One cannot ignore the culinary delicacies from Goa; so we have included a curated mix of Goan lip smacking food and bakes to crave your hunger pangs while you take in everything that the state has to offer.
