Venues for the festival

Spread across a 1.8 km stretch along river Mandovi, the Festival locations have been strategically chosen for their historical value, natural settings and affinity towards the arts. This festival in Panaji includes art initiatives that will transform our venues into spaces where audiences can experience the arts in exciting new contexts.
