A man once said, “There is food, there is music, there is entertainment, but without people
interacting with each other, there is no goal.” When one thinks of the state of
Goa, one of the first thoughts that cross the mind is food. It’s time for
cheers! As Goa’s most awaited Food and Cultural Festival is in town. From
mouth-watering dishes to exotic concoctions, the festival will blend
entertainment, music and delicacies for the tummy.
The festival focuses on exploring food,
while culture will enfold itself with the melodic fusion of music, dance, live
performances and entertainment. Over the years, the annual celebration has
gathered maestros from various industries like tourism, hospitality, food and
beverage, hotels, restaurateurs, beverage brands and lifestyle outlets to bring
forth their premium offerings.
The festival favours not only locals but a
number of tourists travelling to Goa. The five-day sizzling event has been
drawing lakhs of tourists to the state since it first initiated. There are
locals, nationals and international foodies who travel from far and wide to
