Live Music To Local Cuisine, Panjim's Got A Food & Cultural Festival Happening

The annual celebration of the Goan culture comes to Panjim again. This year, the five-day extravaganza, (Feb 6–10) is Goa Tourism’s attempt at bringing local food, music and general vibe of revelry for tourists and locals to enjoy. You can browse through around 70 stalls with both vegetarian and non-veg food. That apart, it’s a great place to enjoy great musical talent from the state and other parts of India.

Thaikkudan Bridge, Pineapple Express, Bad Blood, Antariksh, Lagori, Goychim Lharam… You’ll be treated to varied genres of music. So, drop by one of the evenings and participate in cooking competitions, watch the fireworks or groove to the music.

DB Bandodkar ground, right around where Mandovi river ends, is not just scenic and massive, it’s also smackbang in the middle of Goa. This gives tourists an opportunity to explore the sights around Panjim, Campal and the jetty area by making a whole day of it.

The entry to the fair is free for everyone. 

Parking around this area can get tricky, so make sure you look for a designated parking lot and don’t block people’s house entries.
