Puducherry Beach Festival

In addition to its historic monuments and colonial architecture, Puducherry offers many scenic beaches. The beautiful Beach Promenade along with its landmark buildings and restaurants along the beach road have for long appealed to the various tourists visiting this erstwhile French colony. However, besides this stretch, the city has many other shores that are waiting to be explored. To tide over the loss of economy due to the pandemic, a carnival showcasing the beaches was proposed.   The four- day - long festival, from 13th to 16th April could be experienced across four beaches - the Promenade, Pondy Marina, Sandunes and Paradise Beach.  The lively festival will host various events including fashion events, sky lantern display, live band performances, silambamanduriyadievents, instrumental concerts, a volleyball tournament, folklore music and dance, cine orchestra, bubble show, catamaran race, puppet show, gymnastics, bicycle marathon, and seafood festival.
