Goa: A Party Zoo For The Party Animals

Relaxed atmosphere, drinks, loud music and the unique Indo-Portuguese culture- this face of Goa makes it a perfect destination for partying. The state is on holiday throughout the year and its beaches form a major source of income for the state and the local people. Famous for its parties and night life, Goa is compatible with all the modern and developed parts of the country.

Origin Of These Parties
Goan parties reflect the colourful mosaic of history. Ever since the hippies made Goa their hangout zone (early 1960s), parties became an integral part of the state. They introduced ‘Rave Parties’ to Goan culture. These parties were known for loud music, drinks and drugs. Later the Government put some restrictions on drugs and the Rave parties were transformed to ‘Trance Parties’. ‘Trance’ is the unique Goan music style developed by local music bands. Almost all the Goan parties are now called Trance parties.

The laws are liberal with alcohol and you can get a drink almost at any spot in the state. However, the Government is strict towards drunken driving, nudity and drugs. Almost all the restaurants have bars and night clubs. Goa is known for its relaxed lifestyle, refreshing weather and festive carnivals.

Popular Party Sites
Goa has several delightful places that are particularly meant for Trance parties. A few of them are Club Tito’s (Baga Beach), Club Extreme (Miramar Road, Panaji), Club Cubana (Arpora Hills), Club Antoos (Calangute Beach), Bamboo Forest/Paradisio/Hill Top (Anjuna and Vagator area), etc.

Goa Casinos and Night Discos are always full of party lovers. Anjuna, the ‘freak capital of the world’ is famous for its night long trance parties. ‘Rave Parties’ were originated from Anjuna Beach only. Later these parties were introduced to the Calangute, Baga, Colva and Dauna Paula beaches as well.

What do you wear to a techno/rave party?

My church’s Young LIfe is throwing a techno/rave party-thing. Sounds awesome, but my friends and I have no clue what the heck you’re supposed to wear to this kind of shindig. Does anyone have any advice or links to websites that would give examples?

Well, if it’s a church thing, just wear regular clothes, really.
