The Laudato Si Organic Farm in Valpoi, Sattari, will host the Muddasachem Fest—a vibrant, community-led celebration on International Workers Day, May 1 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is open to all. The festival is hosted by parish priest of Our Lady of Lourdes Church Fr. Santan Gama and manager of Diocesan properties Fr. Felix Lobo, along with the Valpoi villagers.
Rooted in Goa’s rich cultural heritage, the fest will feature traditional performances such as ‘Festacarchi Pasoi’, ‘Bolcaoancho Gozalli’, ‘Kottieacho Nach’, ‘Ghumtacho Avaz’, along with interactive karyashalas (workshops), ‘Goenche Jevonn’ (local cuisine), and more.
Curated by festakar Marius Fernandes, this marks his 101st fest under his unique concept of Individual Social Responsibility (ISR)—a personal commitment to building inclusive, sustainable communities through culture.
His ISR model empowers locals, revives heritage, and brings people together without commercial sponsorship or competition.
