The highly anticipated Spirit of Goa Festival is back and promises to be even better than before. The festival will start from 21st April to 23rd April, 2023, at the SAG ground in Colva to celebrate Goa’s culture, heritage, people’s favourite Feni and culinary delights.
The three-day festival will also present local Goan brews, distillers, infusers and some very Goan authentic cuisines. It will also hold a line-up of great local music, folk dance, comedy and much more.
The festival offers an excellent opportunity for visitors to discover the unique talents of local artists, taste the iconic Cashew and Coconut Feni, and enjoy the lively Goan folk dances and music. Local women and self-help groups will also showcase their handcrafted and local products.
Visitors can also witness Goa’s sustainable lifestyle through the creative use of forest waste to create beautiful crafts, artefacts, and traditional Goan food preparations like curries and sweets. The Potential of Goa’s small-scale industries, farms and agro-tourism along with Goa’s unique crops will also be a key factor of the event, emphasising their economic value and supporting the local agrarian economy.
One cannot miss the key highlights of the festival, the signature Cashew and Coconut Feni and the art of brewing them. Both define the very essence of the Goan way of living and its culture which is now acclaimed as a “Heritage brew”. The instruments and vessels used for making Feni will be on display too.
Participants discussed the boundary between nature and ecotourism, whether mass visits to unique areas can remain safe, the responsibilities of investors, and how to prepare tourists for visiting specially protected natural areas.
The head of state expressed confidence that the Forum will be held at a high level, and that its results will contribute to the development of tourism in Russia and the expansion of humanitarian and business ties.
