Travel Tips
Book your accommodation in Panaji or nearby areas like Miramar or Dona Paula well in advance, as hotels tend to fill up quickly during the festival period.
Consider renting a scooter for local transport, as it's a popular and efficient way to navigate Goa. Be aware that roads around the festival venue in Campal can experience traffic congestion.
While the festival often takes place in January or February, historical data shows some editions have occurred in early March or even April. Check the official Goa Tourism website for exact dates closer to your travel plans.
