BITS PILANI - Goa Campus

One of the fastest-growing  festivals ,  Waves  the Cultural Fest of  BITS PILANI - Goa Campus  is one of the top-rated College  Festivals  of the country. Let's not talk much about its history which can be known from Wiki also. Instead, I'll just mention a few of the best things which ever happened in the country.  Last year, Waves was the first-ever College Fest to associate with  Sunburn  and together hold  Sunburn Campus , a pre-Sunburn event in the Campus, which later went to other colleges too! It won't be hard for you to tell at how high a rate, the current graph is tending to rise. And since it's Goa, it's getting a mix of how  amazing  celebrations can be like. :P  None of the fests have ever seen such a peak in so little time. The best part about  Waves  is that  not even a single penny  is funded by the government unlike many big cultural  festivals  in India. Everything from b...

Deep Feelings of Festivals

Over the phone, Cindy Hinkle, the pumpkin festival president, sighed and said, “First time, after 30-some years. It was very sad for us.” But what happened to the champion, giant-sized pumpkins — the pumpkins that weigh as much as small cars? Chris Rodebaugh from Lewisburg was the Pumpkin Festival’s 2019 pumpkin champion. He won the festival’s largest pumpkin contest last year with a 1,384-pound pumpkin.
