Visakhapatnam will host the Lighthouse Festival 3.0 on January 9 and 10, organized by the Union Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways. This event aims to celebrate India’s maritime heritage, promote lighthouse tourism, and enhance engagement with coastal communities.
The two-day festival will offer a variety of cultural performances and special programs starting daily at 6 pm, providing visitors a deep dive into the region’s coastal traditions. Preparations for the festival have been reviewed in a meeting led by Joint Collector K. Mayur Ashok, which involved the Deputy Director General of Lighthouses and senior officials from the port and district.
Notable attendees are expected to include former Vice-President M. Venkaiah Naidu, Union Tourism Minister Suresh Gopi, and other local dignitaries. Inspired by previous successful festivals in Goa and Puri, authorities are working to enhance logistical arrangements for this year’s event.
Officials have been directed to ensure a range of facilities, including uninterrupted power supply, sanitation, medical support, and transport services. The festival is anticipated to attract significant public interest, further establishing Visakhapatnam as a key destination in India’s maritime tourism landscape.
