With Christmas fast approaching, you’ll find lots of exciting activities, pop up markets, lovely concerts and so much more all over Goa – from cities to villages, you just can’t miss that festive feeling.
Here are our picks of activities to check out this week…
CHRISTMAS POP UP BAZAAR
Whether you're looking to do some Christmas shopping, or just shop in general, pop up markets are awesome places to make a purchase or just browse around, and check out the wealth of local talent and work of small entrepreneurs.
What’s great about them is that they have a selection of lovely handmade products, local edibles, entertainment and loads more that you won’t come by at your ordinary neighbourhood stores.
Here’s one that’s happening today.
Live music, festive décor, Xmas sweets, games, food and beverages is what you’ll find at the ‘Christmas Pop Up Bazaar’ which will be held on December 19, 2023 at Pallotti Home, Chicalim.

What’s Christmas without carols to usher in the season? Stuti Choral and String Ensemble will present the first part of Handel’s Baroque masterpiece, Messiah, on December 20, 2023, at St John the Baptist Church, Pilerne.
Replete with jubilant solos and choruses, this is traditionally sung during Christmas in many parts of the world.
The 75-member choir, 20-member ensemble and 4 vocal soloists will end with the triumphant Hallelujah Chorus from the second part.
