Celebrating 25 Years of India’s Living Folk Heritage
First established in 1999, Lokotsav has evolved into one of India’s most celebrated open-air cultural celebrations. Organized by the Directorate of Art & Culture, Government of Goa, alongside the West Zone Cultural Centre (Udaipur), the 2026 Silver Jubilee edition represented a historic milestone in celebrating India’s grassroots folk culture.
Event 360 / Sean AdEvent was selected to engineer the entire festival grounds at Darya Sangam, Kala Academy. From erecting hundreds of weather-proof handicraft display stalls to fabricating the monumental main stage, VIP lounges, multi-cuisine food courts, and security cordons, the production operated seamlessly over 10 high-intensity days and nights.
High-Footfall Civil Engineering & Coastal Weatherproofing
Managing over 100,000 attendees over ten days directly adjacent to the Mandovi riverfront necessitated robust temporary civil infrastructure: stabilized non-slip pedestrian pathways, monsoon-grade tarpaulin pandals, heavy-duty electrical distribution boxes, and emergency ingress/egress corridors vetted by state fire and safety authorities.
Comprehensive site zoning blueprint and spatial circulation plan developed for Lokotsav 2026.
