Ambeachem Fest or Mango Fest

Ambeachem Fest or Mango Fest

Ambeachem Fest or Mango Fest will be hosted at the Montfort Academy, Corlim, Goa, on 8th May 2022 at 11 am curated by Mr. Marius Fernandes (Goencho Festakar). The festival is open to all.
The purpose of the Ambeachem Fest is to celebrate the Goan mangoes by learning to graft, grow, preserve, cultivate and use Mangoes in different ways while also emphasizing the need to preserve our mango heritage for posterity. There will be a demonstrative removal of ‘benol’ (Konkani word for the parasitic plant that grows on the mango trees), Balcaocho Gozzali (balcony banter) under a mango tree with Miguel Braganza followed by a walk and talk around a Mango Tree by Dr Maryanne Lobo. ICAR, Ela, and Old Goa will be displaying mango samples to taste and Mrs Sunethra Talaulikar will demonstrate several dishes of sweets and drinks made of mango.
