Mumbai going Goan!

Mumbai going Goan!


The Konkan Cultural Association along with Goa Tourism Development Corporation will soon be organising ‘Goa Fest & Carnival Festival Dance 2012’ from February 19 to 23. The five-day extravaganza that will be held at Dr Antonio Da Silva High School Grounds, Dadar, will see a host of events.
The activities include a performance by Mumbai’s Goan band Groove that will play Goan, Mangalorean, East Indian, Marathi and English music. The evening will also witness the traditional carnival parade with fancy dress competition. Every evening there will be short drama skits on tourism. Entry is by invitation only.
A traditional Goan cafeteria will be open throughout the day serving the local snacks, lunch, dinner and sweets. The fest will include stalls offering local Goan fare, tin and bottled foods, spices, pottery, handicrafts, books, fashion wear and more.
Special rates to encourage small scale home industries, self employed women, drama, film, music, fashion, educational institutions and NGOs will all be part of the Fest.
