Colour and variety is what typifies the many festivals of Kerala. The Kerala festival scene is interestingly brighter and richer, as its landscape. The occasions are many, and the need for excuses few, to celebrate. The gaiety and festivity of each staying fast and strong till the next one.
Onam Harvest Festival (August-September)
The most popular festival of Kerala celebrating the return of the legendary King Mahabali. There's never a dull moment in this 10 days long festival - Snake Boat races, floral displays, feasts, fairs and games. The famous tourism week celebrations are also arranged with great fanfare.
Nehru Trophy Boat Race (August)

Diwali (October-November)
Diwali celebrated as the festival of lights and is celebrated on a nation-wide scale on Amavasya - the 15th day of the dark fortnight of the Hindu month of Ashwin (Aasho) (October / November) every year. It symbolises that age-old culture of our country, which teaches us to vanquish ignorance that subdues humanity and to drive away darkness that engulfs the light of knowledge. Diwali, the festival of lights even to day in this modern world projects the rich and glorious past of our country and teaches us to uphold the true values of life.
Christmas (December)
Christmas is a time for Families, Fun, and Festivities. A time for family gatherings and holiday meals. A time for Santa, stars, and singing carolers. A time for ornaments, gifts, and twinkling lights. Celebrated in all its ritualistic splendour, it is given as much importance as any of the other Hindu festivals
Shivaratri (February-March)
Much popular among the devotees of Lord Shiva, this is the day of fasting. Processions are led to the temples, lingams are anointed and holy mantras chanted.
And if it's the culture of kerala that interests you, then don't miss the famous cultural festivals performance of the
best Indian artists.
