Goenchem Festival 2023 at Hilton Goa Resort

Candolim, North Goa, India, on April 26

The balmy sea wind, the sound of waves cascading on the shore, and the aroma of peppery and sour cuisine exemplify Goa's character. With the revival of the Goenchem Festival in 2023, the Hilton Goa Resort, in collaboration with The Goan Culinary Club, will revive the forgotten recipes of Goan cuisine. This celebration of vibrant culture and rich culinary heritage will be held at the Grand Ballroom and Banyan Lawns of the Hilton Goa Resort on April 29, 2023, beginning at 5:00 p.m.

The Hilton Goa Resort is pleased to revive this festival with the intention of exhibiting the lost treasures and family recipes handed down through generations of Goan chefs. The festival is expected to be bigger and better than in the past, with a concentration on authentic Goan cuisine and delicacies as well as native cultural performances featuring traditional songs, dances, and thrilling sports.
