Goa Shigmo 2016, Panaji

Goa Shigmo or Shigmotsav 2016
An initiative of Goa Tourism

https://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk69/26056630495/in/photostream

Dates for Shigmo Float Parades
25th March Ponda
26th March No Parade (Good Friday)
27th March Panaji
27th March Margao
28th March Bicholim
29th March Vasco
30th March Quepem
31st March Curchorem / Sanvordem
1st April Sanguem
2nd April Cuncolim also Tivim
3rd April Mapusa also Shiroda
4th April Pernem
5th April Sankhali
6th April Valpoi also Dharbandora
7th April Canacona

Once again the  Panaji shigmo ended late, very late.  If police did not interfere then the whole thing would have ended around 2.30am.

Looks like it started very late as usual. 

We decided to give a miss this time because it ends very late every year.

However, at 8 pm we decided to go and watch at least half of the floats.

We arrived at Kala Academy at 8.30pm and surprised to see Float parade not even started yet.

Romtamel were still going on and last group of Romtamel left the starting point (Caculo Island) at 23.15.   Last float (Chitrarath)  to leave the originating point  at  00:45 or 12.45am which means it would arrive at the terminating point i.e. Azad Maidan around 2am and the programme on stage including prize distribution, senior artistes felicitation, Speeches etc  whole thing would have ended around 2.30am.  Last year it ended at 1.15am though

Looks like top committee members already abandoned  the show and disappeared. Not even local MLA and Dempo Baba were seen at Azad Maidan.  At 1.21 am it was announced  that stage programme is cancelled and that result will be declared 2 days later on local dailies.

Surprisingly, no local dailies (English) brought this up in their editions, they did publish floats pics though.

Watch Video No. 6 (below) for all 30 floats
