A Celebration of Kerala's Spirit
Onam is Kerala's most cherished festival — a celebration of harvest, homecoming and coming back together. For 2026 the Kozhikode District Administration has put together seven evenings of it: orchestras and ghazal nights on the main stage, Malayalam theatre at the Town Hall, Kathakali, Theyyam and Oppana at Mananchira, and classical recitals at Tali. Every performance is free and open to all.
ഒരുമിച്ച് എന്നതിന്റെ അർത്ഥം
Onam, together
Seven evenings, six venues, and nothing to buy. The programme is free and unreserved at every stage — the drama at the Town Hall, the Theyyam at Mananchira, the orchestras on the main stage — because the point of it is who turns up.
