The Goa Carnival is one of the most celebrated festivals in Goa, showcasing an assortment of culture, art, entertainment, and food. The festival attracts visitors from all over India and abroad, making it a well-known event in the country.
Carnival is an annual gala that takes place before Lent, also known as ‘Carnaval’, ‘Entrado’, and ‘Intruz’. The festival features masquerades, colorful floats, lively music and dances, plays, and scrumptious food, seamlessly blending the rich Goan culture with entertainment.
