SAO JOAO

As the monsoon clouds gather over Goa, the state prepares to celebrate one of its most vibrant and culturally rich festivals, Sao Joao. Held annually on June 24, this festival commemorates the feast of St. John the Baptist and Sao Joao 2024 promises to be an unforgettable event, blending age-old traditions.
With lively festivities that showcase Goa's unique heritage. Sao Joao has its roots in the Christian traditions brought to Goa by Portuguese colonizers.
St. John the Baptist is celebrated for his role in baptizing Jesus in the River Jordan, and the festival pays homage to this act with joyous water-centric activities. The connection to water is symbolic, reflecting purification and the onset of the monsoon season, which is vital for Goa's agrarian communities.
