Sailing into Lisbon felt like stepping into a parallel chapter of Goa's story. As Marius Festakar wanders through Lisbon’s Alfama, rides Tram 28, and visits St. Anthony’s Church, he draws deep connections between the Portuguese capital and his homeland of Goa. This is more than travel — it’s a reflection on heritage, identity, and the living link between two vibrant cultures.
The Khoshi Lokanchem Fest, curated by Festakar Marius Fernandes, brought together Goans from all walks of life to celebrate the state's vibrant culture, heritage, and community spirit. The festival featured a range of activities, including traditional music and dance performances, workshops, and stalls showcasing local food, crafts, and textiles.
The Goa College of Home Science is set to host the inaugural "Khoshi Lokanchem Fest" on April 5, 2025, a celebration of Goan culture, music, dance, and cuisine.
