The Magical Reis Magos Fort In Goa's Hosting A Music & Arts Festival!

Harmony Of Strings festival (Dec 13–17) is a celebration of all things music, art, performances and wellness. With an enviable line-up of artists bringing live music, healing workshops, theatrical acts, dance forms, ethical shopping, food and camping, this one promises five days of revelry in a stunning backdrop.

Yoga classes to tribal belly dancing. Reggae Rajahs to Prem Joshua. Kathakali to free verse poetry. Sound healing to past life regression. Waste management talks to a class in astrophotography. DJ sets to comedy theatre. There’s a huge spectrum of mini events that should interest every kind of culture vulture who’s either based out of Goa or is just travelling to Goa, looking to experience something un-touristy and unconventional. You can see the entire events calendar on Harmony Of Strings’ FB page.

The Reis Magos fort is the oldest fort in Goa and the locals will tell you that the views from here are stunning. It’s a 14th century structure that’s been restored to host cultural events and private get-togethers. On a clear day, you can see the Mandovi river, the city of Panjim and bits of Old Goa too. With this festival this Dec, you have the chance to enjoy both, the beauty of this well-preserved fort as well as music and art from all over the world, occupying little pockets of the complex.

There are different permutation combinations for tickets including packages for a couple to single tickets for one day to all 5 days of the festival. Guests can also buy a camping pass for the duration of the fest. The entry ticket includes free pints and start at INR 1,180.
