We’ve put together a list of fun, upcoming events that you and your team would enjoy. Since the leg work is already done, drop your excuses, pick up your bags and start packing!
Onam
Date – 1 September to 13 September
Category – Festival, Culture
Onam, Kerala’s biggest festival, is celebrated by people from all communities, castes, classes, and religions. Its secular vibe makes it very popular, and the government organises a tourism week to welcome the large numbers of people coming in from all over. The celebrations go on for ten days and feature musicians, dancers, floral arrangements, handloom fairs, and of course, the iconic snake boat races. These races are held near Alleppey so head on down there to catch all the boating action. While you’re enjoying yourselves in God’s own country, don’t forget to try out Sadhya, a traditional Onam feast featuring a nine-course meal. It’s both drool-worthy and Insta-worthy.
5th Bangalore Business Literature Festival
