Goa Carnival

The Goa Carnival 2018 is going to start on February 10th and will be celebrated for three days until 12th February. It’s the celebration of the rich culture and heritage which is quite popular among the youth. The highlighting element of the fest will be the float parades that will be leading throughout the major cities of the state.

Every year a ‘King Momo’ is selected to lead the parades and is believed to rule the state throughout the fest. This year’s King Momo is Float dancer Bruno Azaredo. The state tourism department receives a lot of entries for the position and then one of them is selected on the basis of his credentials. The tourism department also sets carnival committees and it’s ensured that the fest promotes the culture of the state and commercialization is minimized.
