From hosting the best nightlife that grooves to some of the world’s finest music to ardently organizing football screenings for fans to cheer for their favourite teams, there is never a dull moment in Goa. And it would only be fair to suggest that the experience of Goa is nothing short of a party, which is innate to its vibrant culture.
Music has always remained an integral part of traditional Goa. Go hip hopping around the tiny little state and you’ll be pleasantly surprised to discover Portuguese and western influences
From hosting the best nightlife that grooves to some of the world’s finest music to ardently organizing football screenings for fans to cheer for their favourite teams, there is never a dull moment in Goa. And it would only be fair to suggest that the experience of Goa is nothing short of a party, which is innate to its vibrant culture.
Music has always remained an integral part of traditional Goa. Go hip hopping around the tiny little state and you’ll be pleasantly surprised to discover Portuguese and western influences in people’s taste in music. Anything from Goa Trance playing in the cozy shacks in the interiors of the state to pop and rock music that sets the stage in the clubs every evening, to local Goan bands playing renditions of the classic ABBA, Led Zeppelin and Beatles, one could tell how passionate Goa is about music. And do not miss out on the annual Sunburn music festival that’s organized in the last week of December.
December also gives you another reason to fly down to Goa. The entire state is illuminated in the festive spirit of the holiday season. Though the state is culturally diverse, Christmas is celebrated with much fanfare and the beautiful Portuguese architecture of the numerous churches across the city shines through in all its glory.
