Carnival held in the last week of December. Fort Kochi is decked up like a bride and tourists,
not only from within the country, but also outside, flock to this lovely port city to participate
in the revelry. The inception of the Kochi carnival can be traced back to the Portuguese New
Year revelry, held here during the colonial days. Gradually, it evolved to take the form of
what is today popularly called the Cochin Carnival of Kerala.
Preparations generally begin months in advance for hosting the unique games, fairs and
partying during the Carnival of Cochin. Dressed up in fancy dresses, everyone, children in
particular, is seen bursting with enthusiasm. The highlight of the carnival is the massive
procession on the New Year's Day. Led by an embellished elephant accompanied by drums
and music, the carnival is a moment to behold. There is also staging of different South and
North Indian folk dances during the festivity.
Color white simply dominates the concluding 10 days of December, during the Kochi
Carnival. All establishments in the city don white paper buntings. The available space on the
streets host impromptu competitions and multi-faceted celebrations. Kalam Vara (floor
drawing), tug-of-war, bicycle race, swimming in the sea, beach volleyball are some of the
programs that take place during the Cochin Carnival at Fort Kochi. The festivities and
revelries continue till midnight of December 31st with fireworks marking the grand finale.

Cochin Carnival
Held annually in the last week of the year in Fort Kochi, this merry making feast is
observed to welcome the New Year. Dating back to the times of Portuguese during the
colonial days, it has evolved with time as a party time for the young hearts with its
unique games, competitions and illumination. However, the highlight of the Carnival
remains the huge procession on the New Year Day, complete with a caparisoned
elephant leading it, drums and music, spectacular floats, myriad folk art forms,
Panchavadyam and even North Indian dances.
Starting since Solidarity Day on December 22, it is a ten-day long festival and is usually
ended by a flag-off in dignified silence to pay tribute to the brave martyrs who died
while fighting for their motherland. It was revived in 1984, and has now gained immense
popularity and all the activities organized during the Carnival are centred around its five
main slogans, namely, Participation, Peace, Progress, Adventure and Environment.
Besides the adventure sports like Beach Bike Race and Sea Swimming, there are Beach
Football, Beach Volleyball, Shuttle Badminton and Ball Badminton Tournaments are
organized during the course of the festival.
