The Dhargal Panchayat has granted provisional permission for the Sunburn Festival to be hosted in Dhargal, North Goa, after a special meeting. The decision came after a narrow vote of 5 in favor and 4 against, amidst local divisions on the matter. The festival, which is set to be held in December 2024, will feature global EDM stars and promises to offer a unique blend of music, nature, and innovation. The region’s scenic landscapes and its proximity to key Goa landmarks have made it an attractive location for this iconic event. While some villagers support the event, citing its potential economic and cultural benefits, others have voiced concerns.
