Visakha Utsav

The city of destiny, Visakhapatnam or Vizag is nestled between the mountains of the eastern ghats and the mighty Bay Of Bengal. Home to the eastern command of the Indian Navy, the quaint town is a home to picturesque beaches, lesser known cultures and some lip smacking food. One of the most popular beaches in the city is the RamaKrishna beach. The Marine-Drive-Like beach road is one of the most happening places in the city. And the marquee event carried out here is the Visakha Utsav. A magical extravaganza organized every year in the month of December is filled with entertainment for 3 days. Organized jointly by the Andhra Pradesh tourism and District Administration, the event has become a tradition. The event showcases some of the best things that the city has to offer. From dance and music to food and games along with an exhibition center. The full day events include games like beach soccer, volleyball, treasure hunt and other adventure activities. Evenings are filled with groove as local artists mesmerize the audience with traditional dance and musical performances. Since its inception, Visakha Utsav has seen close to 300,000 visitors. The event is organized to promote Visakhapatnam as a world tourist destination and to make Visakha Utsav as one of the leading festivals in the country.
