Yay! It is Back: The Most Awaited Karavali Utsav & Beach Festival to be Held Soon in Mangalore

The district administration is planning to organize Karavali Utsav and Beach Festival in April this year. Karavali Utsav involves various cultural events, flower shows and other activities, including Karavali Expo at Karavali Utsav Maidan, Kadri Park and Panambur Beach. In 2020, an international kite festival with beach games and a concert was held at Panambur Beach.

Last year, the Karavali utsav could not be organised, due to the rise in Covid-19 cases. The district administration is expected to hold a meeting of stakeholders soon, to decide about the Karavali Utsav and Beach Festival. After successfully conducting Karkala Utsav, Kannada and culture minister V Sunil Kumar, the district minister of Dakshina Kannada, is keen on holding Karavali Utsav and Beach Festival. Deputy Commissioner K V Rajendra told that the district administration will be finalised after holding a meeting with district minister V Sunil Kumar, MP Nalin Kumar Kateel and MLAs.
